For obfuscation, I'm sometimes using just plain base-64 encoding.
For extra obfuscation, you could first rot13 the string,
then zlib.compress it, then base-64 encode it.

To decypher it, people have to make a conscious decision to do so.
No security here, but I find it good enough for most obfuscations.
