Yes, you can use virt-customize provided by libguestfs-tools:
virt-customize -a image.qcow2 --run-command 'yum install -y something'

There are some instructions for this on the downstream Director documentation. See section 6.3.5 in
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/7/html/Director_Installation_and_Usage/

It's not clear to me what kind of encryption you would like to achieve here, something like SSL connectivity for the Openstack endpoints?
