When flash encryption is enabled, only the app images present in the app partition are encrypted, instead of encrypting the whole partition. This can help to optimize the encryption time required during the first boot.
This could be configured using the config CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPT_ONLY_IMAGE_LEN_IN_APP_PART, which is enabled by default from ESP-IDF v5.3, and is disabled for all earlier releases to avoid any breaking behaviour.
