Not technical enough

Comments:
There IS a safe password protection which is (nearly) unhackable, but slow and big in size: Encode your file (ASCII/ANSI 32..127 only because of UNICODE) and escape() it. To decode it, you need the decryption algorithm in JavaScript (so RSA is bad; simple XORing is not very safe, but it works. Do it after unescape()ing).
There may not be any 0-bytes in the text because JavaScript (or better: the C browsers are written it) cut off the rest, so images cannot be encoded. Also, your password has to be ANDed with 0x6F to prevent generating codes >= 128 or < 32. That's it -- a (relatively) safe encoding!
