You have to know a lot more than the algorithm, you have to know the
seed value.  This, in practice, can act as a key to make practically
unbreakable ciphers.

Now the diehards will say that you can't make such a claim, but in
truth eventually the probability of an attacker knowing enough of the
free variables (64 bit seed value, 1% or more sequential characters of
plaintext being used repeatedly across different ciphertexts IN THE
SAME LOCATION) becomes vanishingly small.

Trying to get the key value securely to your recipient is another
problem which may be outside cryptology, but is certainly an
interesting historical problem for politicians and generals.
