I gather that you are referring to some kind of app to app
level encryption? I'm not -aware- of any switch / router
that does encryption at the point where an untagged VLAN enters
the network, and decryption at the point where the untagged
VLAN exits the network (possibly a number of hops away), all
transparently to the hosts. Or rather, to the extent that I
have heard of such things, I would probably call them
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) rather than encrypted VLANs -- especially
as VPNs can carry VLAN-tagged packets within them.

Correct. I was not referring to 802.1Q tagging (layer 2)
but rather more to plain vanilla IP (layer 3) which is
probably best described as VPN.

And is inter- port based vlan communication is possible in l 2 switch
or for this the switch controller register support is required

Thanks

Please read my original response. Communications among VLANs (indeed,
among *any* LANs) can be accomplished using a router. I am sorry if you
do not understand this, or if this is not the answer you want.

I have no idea what a "switch controller register" *is*, much less
whether it may be required for inter-port based VLAN communication.
