SSB modulation hardly counts as encryption. (?!)
CFR 47 <http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/> says:
97.113 Prohibited transmissions.
(a) No amateur station shall transmit:
(1) Communications specifically prohibited elsewhere in this part;
(2) Communications for hire or for material compensation...
(3) Communications in which the station licensee or control operator
has a pecuniary interest...
(4) Music using a phone emission except as specifically provided
elsewhere in this section; communications intended to facilitate a
criminal act; messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the
meaning thereof, except as otherwise provided herein; obscene or
indecent words or language; or false or deceptive messages, signals
or identification;
(5) Communications...which could reasonably be furnished
alternatively through other radio services.

97.117 International communications.
Transmissions to a different country, where permitted, shall be made
in plain language and shall be limited to messages of a technical
nature relating to tests, and, to remarks of a personal character for
which, by reason of their unimportance, recourse to the public
telecommunications service is not justified.
