About Master Encryption Key Management on Autonomous Database
Autonomous Database provides two options for Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) to encrypt your database: Oracle-managed encryption keys and Customer-managed encryption keys.
Autonomous Database uses Transparent Data Encryption, including a TDE master key and TDE tablespace keys to encrypt data in the database. As shown in the following figure, the TDE master key generates and encrypts/decrypts the TDE tablespace keys, and the TDE tablespace keys encrypt the data files.

Oracle-Managed Master Encryption Keys on Autonomous Database
By default, Autonomous Database uses Oracle-managed encryption keys.
Using Oracle-managed keys, Autonomous Database creates and manages the encryption keys that protect your data and Oracle handles rotation of the TDE master key.
