Does Cloud Station Drive encrypt data before sending it? If so, what encryption do they use?

More specifically, is data synced with Cloud Station Drive over the internet reasonably secure during transmission?
 
It seems from this Synology blog post, that at least it can be as of DSM 5.1.

In DSM 5.1 – additional improvements are being added to Cloud Station, one of which allows syncing of encrypted shared folders with workstations. The new platform that the DS415+ is utilizing supports hardware-accelerated encryption, effectively saturating 2x1GbE Links for encrypted shared folders. Combining all of these technologies allows any business to deploy a secure private cloud, as data on the DiskStation is encrypted “at rest” and “in transit”, without any lost in performance in accessing the encrypted data.
