⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The primary goal of this session was to develop a comprehensive study plan focused on encryption methods and key management within Google Cloud Platform (GCP), as well as to reflect on various encryption techniques and their applications.

Key Activities:

• Created a structured study plan for learning about encryption methods in GCP, including objectives, time allocations, and recommended resources.
• Reflected on asymmetric encryption, detailing its processes, use-cases, and algorithms such as RSA and ECC.
• Explored cloud storage encryption in GCP, focusing on Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) and Customer-Supplied Encryption Keys (CSEK).
• Reviewed encryption mechanisms in GCP’s database services, including Cloud SQL and BigQuery.
• Outlined a key management methodology for sensitive environments, emphasizing security and compliance.

Achievements:

• Developed a detailed plan for studying encryption methods and key management in GCP.
• Gained insights into asymmetric encryption and its importance in secure communications.
• Clarified the types of encryption keys available in GCP and their benefits.

Pending Tasks:

• Further exploration of encryption tools and their practical applications in real-world scenarios.
• Implementation of the study plan and evaluation of learning outcomes.
