Are you seeking to persist the bitstreams and metadata in encrypted form; to disseminate them in an encrypted envelope; or merely to disseminate them over an encrypted channel? The first option has huge implications related to DSpace system functions being able to access the persisted bitstreams and metadata. The first and the second options also imply integration with some kind of authorization and key management infrastructure. Think: DRM... Running DSpace over OpenSSL on the other hand is fairly standard, see the installation documents (esp. w.r.t running Apache over OpenSSL, getting certificates, etc.).
