KOffice applications can open encrypted documents of the OpenDocument ormat
But some closed formats like MSOffice documents an encrypted file can not be read 
because the decryption concept for those closed formats is not known to KOffice.

If you are trying to open an open document format file (extensions like odt or 
odp or ods) that should be possible if the right libraries are installed. (qca) 
If you are opening other fileformats then unfortunately koffice can't help you.

Hope that helps.
