Office 2013 RT, Encryption and Password-Protected Documents

Does the RT version of Office 2013 (like on the Surface 2 RT) have the encryption and password-protect options that the regular Office 2013 has?

I use this option quite frequently in Office 365: I sync my password-protected documents to my SkyDrive and access them on either my home, work, or laptop PCs. Whenever I want to access documents from my SkyDrive, I have to enter the file's specific password to gain access. However, when I try to access the document through a mobile apps, like the Android app for Office 365, the files cannot be accessed if they are password-protected or encrypted.

I was curious if Office RT followed the same trend (i.e., you can't save or access SkyDrive password-protected files on the RT version of Office), or if it had the full functionality of encryption/passwords like regular Office?

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
