I think there is some confusion here regarding a right to free speech vs. the right to any speech. The courts routinely recognize the state's right to limit modes of speech, e.g. vandalism, yelling in a theater, etc. Isn't encrypted speech just another "mode"?

Encrypted speech isn't another mode, in my opinion. You can send encrypted messages in letters, spoken word, or spray paint; that is, encrypted speech is communicated through the same modes as any other speech. The content is what's different.
