No. http://www.torproject.org/overview.html.en explains what is encrypted and not encrypted. Your applications that talk to the SOCKS proxy in either privoxy or tor are not encrypted. This most likely all occurs on your localhost. The traffic that leaves tor destined for the guard node/entry node is wrapped in SSL. Everything is wrapped in SSL until it leaves the exit node, where your original traffic is passed along as it was submitted to the proxy in the first place. -- Andrew
