#### Encryption at Rest
* [alpha] Encrypt secrets stored in etcd. For more information, see [Securing a Cluster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/securing-a-cluster/) and [Encrypting data at rest](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/encrypt-data/).

#### Node Authorization

- Decoupled `TaintManager` from `NodeLifeCycleController` (KEP-3902). ([#119208](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119208), [@atosatto](https://github.com/atosatto))
- Enabled traces for KMSv2 encrypt/decrypt operations. ([#121095](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121095), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))

- Encryption of API Server at rest configuration now allows the use of wildcards in the list of resources.  For example, *.* can be used to encrypt all resources, including all current and future custom resources. ([#115149](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115149), [@nilekhc](https://github.com/nilekhc))

        byte[] result = cipher.doFinal(data);

        decrypt = new byte[result.length];
        System.arraycopy(result, 0, decrypt, 0, result.length);

        int tempSize = decrypt.length - 24;

        byte[] output = new byte[tempSize];
        System.arraycopy(decrypt, 24, output, 0, tempSize);

        return output;
    }

        // but it proves the decryption path is taken.
        assertThrows(GeneralSecurityException.class, () -> KerberosEncData.decrypt(data, key, KerberosConstants.RC4_ENC_TYPE));
    }

### SIG AWS

In v1.13 we worked on tighter integrations of Kubernetes API objects with AWS services. These include three out-of-tree alpha feature releases:

                        if (id.equalsIgnoreCase(server.getId())) {
                            SettingsDecryptionResult result =
                                    settingsDecrypter.decrypt(new DefaultSettingsDecryptionRequest(server));
                            server = result.getServer();

                            AuthenticationInfo authInfo = new AuthenticationInfo();
