I've been using Flying Carpet, and it works pretty well. You can read about the encryption decisions further down the ReadMe.

It utilizes the LocalOnlyHotspot API, and the data is encrypted in transit (and any potential hacker would have to be on the WPA2-protected network that's generated, anyway). I recommend reading more about it yourself and not just taking my word for it.
