Does the fGDB API support encrypted fGDBs? If so, at what versions?
Esri does not "encrypt" file geodatabases. ArcObjects supports "compression" of file geodatabases, but this is merely a read-only form (which is passively readable by the 1.4 FGDB API). ArcObjects also supports the licensing of data in file geodatabases; the FGDB API does not support this.

The File Geodatabase toolset under Data Management has tools for creating licensed GDBs.
Lance told me just yesterday that the File Geodatabase API does not support licensed GDBs (Python and ArcObjects are equivalent in the context of FileGDBAPI.dll).

Good to know.
