It looks like the majority of WDSC's communications with i5/OS use the
JT400 classes. These classes do provide two ports for each function --
one for regular, and one for SSL. But, even though JT400 appears to
support SSL, I don't think WDSC is coded to use that support.
I have had some success in running WDSC though SSH tunnels, however.
Not sure if you'd be interested in this?
I used the SSH tunnels for awhile, but at some point I decided to
install OpenVPN, which is an SSL VPN. As far as I know, OpenVPN doesn't
run on i5/OS, but I installed it on a FreeBSD box on the same LAN (a
Linux or Windows box should work just as well) with my System i, and I
use it to provide me with full VPN access to everything on the LAN --
including the System i. WDSC seems to run flawlessly in that scenario.
But, if a full-fledged VPN isn't an option, you might look into setting
up SSH tunnels. IBM provides a free port of OpenSSH for i5/OS as
5733-SC1 (albeit, it runs in PASE). You could use that to handle the
server-side of the connection. On the Windows side, you can use PuTTY
to provide the tunnels. It works (except, I think, for the debugger --
but I may have just missed a port there) and might be a way to get the
job done if SSL isn't an option.

Is there any way to configure the Remote Systems connection to connect to a remote system using SSL?
