No - but it isn't needed.

You need to secure the data between the users computer and whatever or
whomever processes it. This is done by submitting the form over http with
ssl (https://example.com/cgi-bin/credit.cgi), and then keeping it secure
throughout the rest of the journey (e.g. not then having the cgi sent it
via unencrpted email!).
