(Maybe there already is, but haven't yet tried the program, because it is not yet in repositories.)
Could you please elaborate more on your thought?

Can't imagine any other protection other than:

- locking it to only one other device, i.e. accept commands only from a predefined device. The problem here is that you limit in some cases also the speed you can start tracking you phone in case it gets lost.

- renaming the commands to words only you know. That's there from the first version and will provide a gui later to make it easier.
