Does Jutoh support encryption/DRM?

Jutoh does not add any encryption for Digital Rights Management. By its nature, DRM has to be integrated with the distribution and sale of a book and therefore must be performed by the publishing system, for example the Amazon Kindle publishing site, Apple iBooks via iTunes, or Smashwords. None of these book submission systems can take an encrypted book from the user, so encryption in Jutoh would be of little use. Encryption should only be a concern if you intend to distribute the book yourself. In that case, you can use a service such as Plimus that can serve up a link to the ebook file after payment, from its own servers, so that the book is not freely available. Whether a book is protected from clipboard copying is down to the reader software, there’s nothing in the generated ebook files that can determine this.
