To have somebody you trust is very difficult.
Could be, but this problem is something you cannot avoid.
It is theoretically possible to encrypt a message in a way that it
simply cannot be decrypted without the right key, not even given
infinite time and infinite resources (google One Time Pad). It can
even be used in practice, but it quite unpractical and brings other
problems such as distribution of the keys.
However, even if you could use a One Time Pad efficiently, nothing
will ever prevent the other party in the communication to make public
the message he received and that was so carefully protected. So if you
do not trust the person on the other side of the line, then don't
communicate with them, even if you can get the best encryption
available.
