Google Cloud Platform to Let Customers Control Encryption Keys
http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2015/07/28/google-cloud-platform-to-let-customers-control-encryption-keys/
Now, the "Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys" feature
allows customers to use their own encryption keys as a free beta
feature, providing customers more control around their data
security, as long as they are able to securely store the
encryption key. "With Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys, we are
giving you control over how your data is encrypted with Google
Compute Engine," Leonard Law, product manager forGoogle Cloud
Platform for Enterprise, wrote in a blog post. "Keep in mind,
though, if you lose your encryption keys, we won't be able to
help you recover your keys or your data - with great power comes
great responsibility!"
