KMS for Google Workspace (CSE)
Google has a feature called Client-Side Encryption (CSE), that allows secure communication with external encryption keys. This means that you hold your own key (HYOK).
By using this solution, it’s possible to encrypt data with private external keys for many Google services.
Client-Side Encryption (CSE) is an optional security feature available to users of Google Workspace. With CSE, data will be encrypted before it is stored on Google’s servers, using their own encryption keys.
This means that even if someone gains access to a user’s data, they won’t be able to read it without the encryption key held by the user.
CSE is designed to be easy to use, with encryption and decryption happening automatically in the background.
