Rman has three possible encryption modes:
1)Transparent mode. (Require Oracle Wallet).

1)create wallet: using wallet manager.
2)open the wallet in your instance.
(alter system set encryption wallet open identified by <password>)
3)set the master key in your instance.
((alter system set encryption key identified by <password>))
4)configure rman to use Transparent.
(configure encryption for database on)
5)no changes to you backup and recovery command.
6)you can temporarily overwrite (set encryption off)

2)Password Mode. (Require you to provide a password).

1)set rman session to use password.
(set encryption on identified by <password> only)
2)no changes to you backup and recovery command.
3) set your rman session to decrypt password that encrypt the backups
(set decryption identified by <password1> {, password2,.., passwordn})

3)Dual Mode. (Can either Oracle Wallets or password).

1)create wallet: using wallet manager.
2)open the wallet in your instance.
(alter system set encryption wallet open identified by <password>)
3)set rman session to use dual encryption.
(set encryption on identified by <passsword>)
4)no changes to you backup and recovery command.
5)if necessary, set rman session to decrypt your bakcups by using the password:
(set decryption identified by <password1> {, password2,.., passwordn})

I hope to know that rman encryption has considerations i hope you are fimiliar with them if not i can help with that.
