Where data encryption is done in X-ROAD

[majana1]

Hi, I beg a clarification,
In reading of X-Road documentations, I am not clear with the following

Data from one institution to another via X-Road goes from Security Server->Central Server->Security server. Where is encryption being done? Is it the requirment of client and sender's system to make encryption?

Are there any direct connection between security servers? Or all communications pass through Central Server? In network language, can one Security server make a PING to another security server?
Please I beg your understanding
