Google Cloud Encryption & Key Management | Hands-on KMS Lab | Day 13

Day 13 focuses on Encryption in Google Cloud, covering encryption at rest, encryption in transit, key management, and hands-on labs with Cloud Key Management Service (KMS). 🔹 Key Topics Covered: Introduction to Encryption in Google Cloud • Why encryption is important for data security and compliance • Overview of encryption at rest vs. encryption in transit • Understanding Google Cloud's default encryption mechanisms ________________________________________ Encryption at Rest • Google Managed Keys (GMEK) → Default encryption for all Google Cloud data • Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) → Customers control the encryption keys • Customer Supplied Encryption Keys (CSEK) → Bring your own keys (BYOK) for added security ________________________________________ Encryption in Transit • Protecting data as it moves between users, services, and storage • Transport Layer Security (TLS) → Versions 1.0 to 1.2 • External Key Store (Cloud EKM) → Storing encryption keys outside of Google Cloud • Hardware Security Module (HSM) → Using Cloud HSM for FIPS-140 compliant encryption ________________________________________ Hands-on Lab: Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) ✅ Lab: Provision & Configure Cloud KMS • Step-by-step guide to: 1. Provision Cloud KMS service in Google Cloud 2. Generate encryption keys (Symmetric & Asymmetric) 3. Manage, disable, and delete encryption keys 4. Enable manual & automated key rotation 5. Use CMEK to encrypt a Cloud Storage bucket 6. Test encryption & decryption workflows ________________________________________ Key Management & Administration • Managing key versions and lifecycle policies • Performing manual vs. automatic key rotation • Controlling access to KMS service using IAM roles • Scheduling keys for deletion when no longer needed 📌 Like, Share, and Subscribe for more cloud learning content! #GCP #Encryption #KMS #CloudSecurity #GoogleCloud #DataProtection 🚀
