TOR is for anonymization; so how to add encryption as well?

hi,
thanks for your reply.
i mean to avoid this:

Eavesdropping by exit nodes
In September 2007, Dan Egerstad, a Swedish security consultant, revealed
that by operating and monitoring Tor exit nodes he had intercepted
usernames and passwords for a large number of email accounts.[17] As Tor
does not, and by design cannot, encrypt the traffic between an exit node
and the target server, any exit node is in a position to capture any
traffic passing through it which does not use end-to-end encryption,
e.g. SSL. While this does not inherently violate the anonymity of the
source, it affords added opportunities for data interception by
self-selected third parties, greatly increasing the risk of exposure of
sensitive data by users who are careless or who mistake Tor's anonymity
for security.[18]
