Tamper-proofing is easy; take the raw data that you want put into the
header, compute a checksum/CRC/etc. of it, append it to the original
data then encrypt the whole thing. When you get it back and decrypt, if
the checksum doesn't match the remainder of the data it was tampered
with (or just plain damaged).
