Informatica authentication and encryption with Hadoop

[#1]

Does Informatica, when used with HDP, encrypt data in motion? For example, through an Informatica mapping we are reading from source DB2 tables and then writing this to Hive tables? Does Informatica authenticate and authorize with HDP through Knox and Ranger. I know that through Ranger we can set permissions on the Hive table for access including insert, read, and we can also setup up encryption on that Hive table for data at rest. But how about data in motion as the Informatica mapping is reading from DB2 and then writing to Hive, is this being encrypted?
