No, the TTL SECURITY is always avaible.

For the BGP protocol is configuration of TTL SECURITY in the root of BGP 
configuration:

protocol bgp {
   ttl security on;
   ...
}

In contrast to the TTL SECURITY for BGP, the TTL SECURITY for RIP must 
be in the interface confifiguration like this:

protocol rip {
   interface "eth0" {
     ttl security on;
     ...
   };
   ...
}

Maybe I will move this option to the root of the TIP protocol options 
like in the BGP. It will be more intuitive.

So, Olivier, thanks for notice! :-)
