TrustCloud BYOK
Comprehensive Encryption Key Management
TrustCloud BYOK is a robust encryption service designed to provide complete control over data privacy and security in the cloud (Virtual Private Cloud or VPC) for both individuals and organizations. This service enables users to actively generate and manage their own encryption keys, ensuring the impregnability of their data against unauthorized individuals or entities.
By entrusting the entire key management process to users, TrustCloud BYOK goes beyond conventional encryption methods, providing a robust defense against potential data breaches and security violations.

BYOC (Bring Your Own Certificate)
TrustCloud brings to its module BYOC capabilities (Bring Your Own Certificate), an extension that allows the use of existing digital certificates to establish secure connections with the cloud provider's services.
Instead of relying on certificates generated by the cloud provider, BYOC serves as a way for customers to add and use their own certificates, issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This allows for greater control over the identity and validity of the certificates used.
Thus, BYOK is not limited to being a shared key manager and is complemented by a feature through which the customer can generate and revoke their own certificates and incorporate them into the system, granting even greater control over their online data.
Benefits of BYOK and BIOC
Security
The risk of fraud, data breaches, and unauthorized access is reduced.
Flexibility
The client always has the final say on the activation or revocation of their keys and certificates.
Control
With no provider able to provide encrypted information, agencies or organizations wishing to access this data will ultimately have to consult with the client.
Regulatory Compliance
Allowing customers to control their own encryption keys ensures compliance with regulations regarding data protection and privacy requirements.
What are BYOK Practices?
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) is an encryption or computer security model whereby users can use their own encryption keys to protect their data stored in the cloud or on other service platforms.
BYOK places the entire key management cycle in the hands of the client, rather than relying on a provider to handle them. In this case, the provider is solely responsible for storing and securely managing the encrypted data. The client reserves the right to revoke access to this data.
BYOK practices are often used in scenarios where data security and control are of vital importance. They are also employed when organizations require complete control over their encryption keys due to regulatory or compliance requirements.
