"Roll your own crypto" may not be entirely bad either.
Suppose that you encrypt your message using "my own crypto". The result is ciphertext that looks like a random bit sring. Then encrypt the ciphertext using a standard algorithm such as AES.
An attacker will have difficulty since a successful decryption of AES is hard to recognize as such.
