MOTOTRBO and NEXEDGE Encryption

I have a Motorola XPR4550 at home and a Kenwood NX-700 Nexedge radio in my company truck. Is there any encryption protocol that is built into those 2 radios that isn't proprietary that I can use for a form of simple encryption between the 2 of them without installing aftermarket boards?
