Hi Amr,

I would suggest you take a second look at TSG01 for the answer to many of
your questions.

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/technical-model-access-non-public-registration-data-30apr19-en.pdf

Bottom line - RDAP (and the standard internet technologies it uses) is
easily updated to layer on standard security services that will provide
encryption, authentication and authorization.   In fact there already
exists an IETF internet-draft describing how to do it.
