is there a way to have the prepopulated data encrypted so that people filling in the forms cannot spoof data?

Unfortunately, we do not have a mechanism to protect prepopulated data.
Could you please provide us with more details on your use case? What data is supposed to be pre-populated?

when you prepopulate the fields it is "clear text"
e.g. if I want to send someone a form prepopulated with their details I could send them the following -
https://cdn.jotfor.ms/81117533752858?employeeid=1234&firstName=Bob&lastName=Smith
However, if they wanted to, they could modify the link and impersonate someone e.g. -
https://cdn.jotfor.ms/81117533752858?employeeid=9876&firstName=The&lastName=Boss
Is there a way to encrypt the prepopulated fields to prevent this?

Unfortunately, that is not possible.
If each of your users has its own unique ID, instead of pre-populating the fields using URL parameters, you can use Spreadsheet to Form widget.

Or you can use conditional logic to populate form fields based on Unique ID.
