The Vivado Design Suite provides a Tcl command, encrypt, that performs encryption on IEEE-1735-2014 V2 valid Verilog, SystemVerilog, and VHDL source files.

See this link in the Vivado Design Suite Tcl Command Reference Guide (UG835) for details.

The encrypt command can also be used on the Verilog or VHDL output from any stage of the Vivado tool flow.

The RTL source code can be encrypted, and any output files by the write_verilog or write_vhdl commands later in the tool flow also have the protected IP automatically encrypted.
