The layer of the OSI Model that deals with encryption, would be the sixth layer, the presentation layer. It deals with the SSL/TLS protocol which pretty much just turns your regular HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) into HTTPS (hypertext transfer protocol secure.) It adds an encryption to certain web pages that would deal with you credit card or any other private information dealt with.
