Summary

Updated encryption documentation and added new durability parameters

Security assessment

The changes clarify encryption-at-rest behavior and introduce new StorageEncryptionType field to document encryption methods (none, sse-elasticache, sse-kms). While this enhances security documentation by explaining encryption states and key management options, there's no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed.
