Bring Your Own Encryption Keys to Google Cloud Platform
http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2015/07/Bring-Your-Own-Encryption-Keys-to-Google-Cloud-Platform.html
Today, we are adding Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys for
Google Compute Engine in beta, which allow you to
bring-your-own-keys to encrypt compute resources. Google Compute
Engine already protects all customer data with industry-standard
AES-256 bit encryption. Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys
marries the hardened encryption framework built into Google's
infrastructure with encryption keys that are owned and
controlled exclusively by you. You create and hold the keys, you
determine when data is active or at rest, and absolutely no one
inside or outside Google can access your at rest data without
possession of your keys. Google does not retain your keys, and
only holds them transiently in order to fulfill your request.

EXCELLENT! - This should even make the Google haters think twice.

I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently
doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone.
