+**Dual-layer encryption**
+
+- Dual-layer encryption protects data with two independent layers of encryption. This method provides enhanced security by protecting against the compromise of any single encryption layer.

+- The cloud provider where your cluster is running encrypts all persisted data at rest using its native storage-level encryption mechanisms.
+
+- On top of the cloud provider's encryption, TiDB Cloud adds a second encryption layer by automatically encrypting data at rest using either customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) or escrow keys.
