In IAX that doesn't look like encryption -  the challenge and  
response are in hex strings.

or you can set

encryption=yes

in iax.conf and let asterisk do the work!

iax2 debug will show the encrypted packets and the decoded results,  
so you can quickly
tell the difference.

Also I think 'iax2 show channels'
displays an (E) next to the channel if encryption is on.
