Customer-managed encryption keys, or CMEK, are encryption keys controlled by the customer rather than solely by the cloud provider. They allow organizations to manage key lifecycle, access, rotation, and revocation for data protected within supported cloud services.
Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) are integrations that allow customers to encrypt data in existing Google services using a key they manage in Cloud KMS (also known as Storky). The key in Cloud KMS is the key encryption key protecting their data. For more information, see Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK).
