Simple answer: no.
If your application can still read the strings, so can a clever person, if
by nothing else than sitting and patiently emulating a CPU with a piece of
paper and a pencil.
In order to actually secure something *you, or your recipient* have to be
involved in decrypting it, by knowing something secret (the key).
