Yes it can.  The interface allows zero-copy in both directions
using the splice interface.  Here is a sample program demonstrating
zero-copy in-place encryption.  It doesn't send the result over TCP
but I'm sure you can imagine what that would look like.

Note that the final read(2) looks like it copies, but it doesn't.
The read(2) will setup SG lists using the user-space address and
place the encryption result in there directly.  In this case as
the source/destination addresses are identical, it performs in-place
encryption.
