you could use the technique from the Cryptogram puzzles in the
newspaper I used to love solving as a child.

It take a random permutation of the glyphs you permit is your message.

You then create a lookup table by letter to substitution letter to
encrypt your message.  These are very easy to crack, but they have the
advantage they don't need armouring and the encrypted version is the
same length as the original.

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to 
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
