Each virtual venue has its own setting of stream encryption.  Even the
streams in a venue are not encrypted and another venue can be
encrypted.  If you establish a venue server, you will find a checkbox
(on/off) and a textbox (common key) on the setting window for each
venue.

Assuming VIC and RAT themselves are not cracked, the likelihood
depends on handling encryption keys by venue servers and venue
clients.  I do not know how it is secure.
