Not really a IBO questione, anyway no, data is not encrypted.

There is security risk if the path between client and server is
insecure. :-) You should use a tunneling technique, like SSH or the
simpler zebedee. I use the latter in some cases and am satisfied with
it.

B> Or is that type of security supplied through underlying IP

Yes; see above.
