Algorithm suggestions

I'm looking for a relatively simple algorithm to add a second layer of
protection to a transmitted packet.

The data to be encrypted is less than 256 bytes per packet, with a
fair amount of similarity in the data, multiple senders, each can have
their own key, the final packet is sent using SSL.

The main reason for the additional layer is to deter packet sniffing
between the sender and the SSL device.

The units are fairly limited, it would be nice if the same function
worked for the encode and decode. Any suggestions?
