Oups, just realized I accidentally only replied to Takeback the first time 
around:

The short answer is that in Ring, your text messages are also encrypted. I 
believe for regular SIP accounts it depends on whether or not your account is 
configured to connect via TLS.

Here is a usefull reply from a couple of months back that goes into a bit more 
detail:

When SIP is used for message, the message is typically send as a sip
body, just like sdp is used in INVITEs.

As such, if the SIP is done over tls, the the message is also encrypted.

There is an alternative where sdp isused to configure a T.140/RTP socket
pair.  If that is done then the t140/rtp can be encrypted by srtp in the
same way that audio/rtp or video/rtp can be.

I'll let someone w/ more insight into ring handle the ring-specific
parts of your query.
