Amending the last paragraph:

The UX side of this feature is not very polished yet and there's more work 
needed in both KOrganizer and KMail to make handling signed and encrypted 
invitations more user-friendly. But as far as we know, Kontact is the only PIM 
suite that can send and receive signed and encrypted calendar invitations 
right now.

I actually managed to get an encrypted invitation to render in KMail with some 
hacks, attached is a screenshot of such and I'll polish and submit a PR to 
make it work for everyone :)
