See man page corosync.conf(5) options crypto_hash, crypto_cipher (for 
corosync 2.x) and potentially secauth (for coorsync 1.x and 2.x).

Basically corosync by default uses aes256 for encryption and sha1 for 
hmac authentication.

Pacemaker uses corosync cpg API so as long as encryption is enabled in 
the corosync.conf, messages interchanged between nodes are encrypted.
