Well, you operate it under ISM rules because the Netherlands doesn't allow ordinary amateur traffic between 2400-2450 MHz accept for QSO's with amateur satellites. You pretend it is amateur traffic but for Dutch Law it isn't all, it just like your wifi at home. There is no other option to do it there in another way. So that the local authority is not interested is not correct, they are just not interested because they regard it as non licensed ism WiFi traffic of non importance. (and that is why you can encrypt it)

Well it of course depends on your local rules and the actual enforcement of those. Here in the Netherlands we happily use WPA2-EAP for user access (logging in with callsign as username and a randomly chosen password), and we use https on top of that without fear. The local radio authority is not at all interested in monitoring that kind of thing and acting on it. And indeed, when using ISM channels they have nothing to enforce at all, we are just regular users that happen to have an amateur radio license. We only need to make sure that we have proper DFS and power settings.

I dont know what is the status of this case but I am asking here if anyone had some factual information on this.
As we are using the frequency that are into the ISM band, We are also using device that are type accepted for that band.
Those device are used legally with encryption by normal lambda user. If we dont modify the device power and frequency would it be legal for ham to also encrypt the signal?
I understand that if we would use a higher power, different channel I would understand that we are now out of the ISM band rules.
