We can use any and all of standard encryption (WEP, WPA etc.) on our 2.4
GHz routers that we convert to ham use, because the purpose is not to
obscure or hide the meaning of the transmission, but to prevent
non-licensed users access to our Amateur networks with part 15
equipment. The requirement is that if you do, you have the key or
password written in your log book or published. 

It is similar to encrypting satellite control commands. You are not
encrypting to obscure or hide the meaning of the message but to prevent
unauthorized users from getting access.
