There is none currently, but you could relatively easily write
something. I see two simple options here

1) Change tcpserversink (and possibly the other TCP elements) to use
GLib's TLS support. Then you can have full-blown TLS with certificate
checking, client-side authentication, etc..

2) Just write a small filter-like element that encrypts all data with
some kind of cipher, e.g. by using openssl. How secure that's going to
be depends on what you're doing there though :)
