To your second point: To be clear on the subject of encryption: If you choose a good encryption method and protect the encrypted file(s) with a good key (depending on the method somewhere between 128 and ~8000 bits or so), it doesn't matter if the encryption method is readable to all. Actually, using an open sourced, well known encryption method has a better chance of actually being secure. If you are new to encryption, you might want to read a few books about it. I personally liked "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography" by Simon Singh, ISBN 0-385-49531-5. Also, you might like to read Bruce Schneier's blog and others to keep up to date.
