The inter-router routing protocol runs over the same inter-router
connection that carries the routed traffic.  The protocol runs over AMQP,
using AMQP encoding and is encrypted in the same way as all other
inter-router traffic.

Yes.  It is very important that the routing protocol be secured with
encryption and secure cryptographic authentication to prevent unauthorized
"routers" from joining the network.

No.  The encryption is applied at the connection level.  All interactions
that are multiplexed over those connections are encrypted.

All of this assumes that the inter-router listeners are configured to
require encryption.  It is possible to configure them to run in-the-clear
or with optional encryption.
