Google Cloud announces 'breakthrough' confidential computing with encryption at all times

American tech giant Google in its annual Cloud Next conference held this week has formally announced Confidential Virtual Machines (VMs), a step towards confidential and secure cloud computing. "breakthrough technology" will allow users to encrypt sensitive data not only as it is stored or sent to cloud, but while it is being worked on as well", Google said.  technology will allow encryption of cloud computing so data stored on Cloud will be safe and secure.

"Confidential VMs take this to next level by offering memory encryption so that you can furr isolate your worklos in cloud," Google said in an online statement announcing technology.

'Data encryption in rest, transit and in process'

Google Cloud General Manager Sunil Potti believes technology will attract companies to store ir sensitive data on cloud which y earlier withheld due to security concerns. It is said that transition to platform will be seamless without any technical hindrances as program will not compromise current performance.  

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian during Tuesday's keynote dress said that Google Cloud is investing aggressively in ensuring your success as a customer or partner, after witnessing a global demand in industry.

“re are many different things that we're doing: expanding and specializing our global sales team, introducing new, mission-critical, 15-minute response time support, a well-defined methodology for data centre transformation, and a strong and expanding global partner network,” he said.

“We recognise when you move worklos to Google Cloud that security and privacy are important areas of risk, and a concern for customers. Kurian said ding, "Confidential Computing allows you, as a customer, to run worklos in Google Cloud and to ensure that data is not only encrypted at rest and in transit, but it's even encrypted while it's being processed.”

“This gives you ability to ensure that all your data is protected all time when it is being processed with Google,” Kurian asserted.

AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization feature of its second-generation EPYC processors is being used by Google in its new and secured cloud computing. AMD's technology demands tasks to proceed with real-time encryption by dedicated VM instance keys generated by and residing solely within VM. This technique blocks access by Google and or VMs running on host site, and encryption keys cannot be exported. 

"If I look at today, an min has ability to peer in and see what's going on in each one of those VMs. And if I have a b actor on one of those VMs re are tools that y can use to break out into neighbours' VMs, peer inside and see data, because it's all unencrypted. But now, as min spins up VMs, y can no longer peer into those VMs and see data. And if I have a b actor in those VMs and y break into anor one, y can't see data that's encrypted." AMD's Greg Gibby, a senior product manager, said.
