Hi,
Is it possible to encrypt the conversation between two parties on SIP,IAX
or
ZAP channels?

Sure, setup a VPN.

You can get a Linksys VPN router for less than $100 and run whatever
protocol you like over your VPN.

Agreed. I have seen and heard of a lot of attempts to bring SRTP support into Asterisk but the idea of SRTP just doesn't make sense to me. Asterisk, and VoIP servers in general, are meant to be communications services not security services. In my mind at least, it would seem to make sense to let security hardware such as a router or firewall handle such tasks as encryption and let the phone server handle what it does, signaling and transcoding. Otherwise, you end up with a device that is not ever going to be optimized for security, handling your security. On top of that, you also are reducing the level of scalability you can achieve on the phone server by adding yet another chore to its duty roster.
