I haven't found any tools that I can easily use to just encrypt the fonts in an ePub, so I'm writing my own python script to do it. Goodness - python's fun! I'm currently to the stage where I have my encryption key and a list of fonts in the ePub, and now 'all' I have to do is write out the ePub with the amended fonts and an added encryption.xml file...
I wonder if InDesign's encryption is any different than what is described in this technical note.
