[lug] IPsec (or other security) in Asterisk

I'm doing a little research on a project that might involve Asterisk.
One of the key issues is VoIP security.  It doesn't appear that IPsec is
supported in Asterisk (based on their web site, at least).  And there
don't appear to be any other transport layer or higher security features
(ssh, tls, ssl, or similar).  

Anyone know if Asterisk supports or is intending to support security
features for VoIP?  Does Asterisk (or any application for that matter)
need to specifically support IPsec or is this a feature of the
networking stack that is configured outside the realm of the
application?   My limited understanding of IPsec is that it's the latter
- outside the realm of the application.
