Google claims not to keep the customer's secret key, but technically he has the ability to save the key and use it to decrypt the data. So this security service is primarily to prevent third parties from stealing user data.

It is encouraging that this security service is expected to be promoted in all cloud services in the future, after all it is a good security feature, and perhaps a year later it becomes a standard option.

In Tuesday, Google provided new security services on their public cloud platform. For businesses, the biggest worry about data being stored in the cloud is being stolen. Google Compute engine for enterprise users to provide private key data encryption services, can effectively alleviate the concerns of enterprises. 28th Google officially launched a key service based on the standard AES 256bit encryption algorithm, in which users can encrypt data using their own keys, so that data stored in the cloud cannot be read and stolen by other third parties.

Google's product manager says that with this encryption service, no one can read your data except you. Google will not retain your personal key, and it will only be used briefly for authentication.

This key can be used to store data throughout your use of Google Cloud platform, whether it is used to store business data, boot disk, SSD and other data can use this security services, Google will not have your key, and can not decrypt your data.

Google does not mention whether the service will be widely used throughout the cloud platform product. Last week Microsoft shelled Google, accusing Google of the dangers of leaking user data in its cloud platform.

"We don't look at your email. "We're not talking in your house, driving cars up and down the street to do that," chief operating officer Keventna said last week.

While Google regularly monitors customer data in Google Cloud, as Turner implies, using your own keys can provide additional security assurances, especially for highly sensitive industries.

This option will also allow businesses to simplify their encryption infrastructure, allowing them to use a set of keys for Google Cloud and internal operations. SunGard, a consulting service client, is looking forward to testing this security option on the basis of GCE for a large volume of financial market trading services.

The new feature will allow SunGard to control the client's data without paying the third-party cryptographic service provider.

And Google pages particularly solemnly remind potential users that if they lose their keys, Google cannot help them recover the key or the data itself.
