Enables SST encryption mode in Percona XtraBackup:

* Set `encrypt=0` to disable SST encryption.
You can control whether Percona XtraBackup encrypts data during State Snapshot Transfer (SST) using the `encrypt` option in your configuration.

* Set `encrypt=4` for SST encryption with SSL files generated by MySQL. This is the recommended value.
* **Encryption Disabled (Default):**
* Set `encrypt=0` to disable encryption. This is the default setting.
* Data transferred during SST won't be encrypted.
* **Encryption Enabled (Recommended):**
* Set `encrypt=4` to enable encryption. This is recommended for security.
* Percona XtraBackup will use key and certificate files generated with OpenSSL to encrypt the data during SST.

An example with the necessary files:

```{.text .no-copy}
[sst]
encrypt=4
ssl-ca=ca.pem
ssl-cert=server-cert.pem
ssl-key=server-key.pem
```
```{.text .no-copy}
[sst]
encrypt=4
ssl-ca=ca.pem
ssl-cert=server-cert.pem
ssl-key=server-key.pem
```
