This is why it is secure at rest. If a service gets a secret assigned to it, then the manager reads the secret from storage, decrypts it, and forwards it to all the containers who are instances of the Swarm service that requests the secret. Since the node-to-node communication in swarm is using mutual transport layer security (TLS), the secret value, although decrypted, is still secure in transit. The manager forwards the secret only to the worker nodes on which a service instance is running. Secrets are then mounted as files into the target container. Each secret corresponds to a file.
