Encryption with SSAS 2005

Is there a way to encrypt data in SSAS in a similar fashion to the built in encryption provided for a relational database in SQL Server 2005 (SMK to encrypt the DMK, which can then be used to create sym/asym keys to encrypt specific columns)?

If so, how do I create a DSV in SSAS that is based on a table(s) which has encrypted data? Also, how do I encrypt specific fact tables in my cube in SSAS?

Analysis Services does not support encryption of it's data.

As for creating cubes based on the encrypted data within SQL Server, that should not be different from any other application reading encypted data.
