Yep, it can be useful when you're trying to send something past IDSes.
I'd suggest you take a look at Jempi Scodes project, which is a polymorphic
shellcode generator.
You can find more information about Jempi Scodes at
http://www.shellcode.com.ar/en/proyectos.html.

Also, check on the same web page, there are couple of ready shellcodes which
have encrypt/decrypt section.
