Since you will be transforming the audio into samples (binary data) any data encryption scheme works with voice as well as with any other data. Could be as simple as XORing the samples with a shared secret or as sophisticated as public key cryptography with protocol for exchanging keys and verifying the counterparty's identity.
What comes to boards I can recommend the Altera DE2 which has a AC97 audio codec for audio input and output and a good choice of communcations intefaces (USB, Ethernet, serial, GPIO). If you decide to go with this board (or a one with the same type of AC97 codec), I can provide a VHDL design for using it.
