can IPC connections be encrypted?

Can IPC connections be encrypted?  If the answer is platform specific, I'm curious about HP/Itanium UNIX.  I setup a listener on the DB that points to a sqlnet.ora which specifies 'SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = required'.  The listener accepts both IPC and TCP/IP connections.  So then I go to an NFS mounted client.  Per 'select * from V$SESSION_CONNECT_INFO where sid = (select distinct(sid) from v$mystat)' I can validate the the TCP connections are encrypted (connections from different servers).  The IPC connections do not report an encryption algorithm so I'm assuming they aren't (connections from same server-obviously).  So do I have a problem here

Howdy, Stranger!
