BYOK refers to a security measure where users generate and manage their own encryption keys. In short, instead of relying on a third party to provide and manage keys, users take this responsibility themselves.
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) is an encryption key management system that enables organizations to encrypt their data and maintain control and management of their encryption keys. However, some BYOK packages upload encryption keys to the CSP infrastructure. In this case, the company again loses control of the key.
Cloud computing offers many advantages, the main disadvantage is security because the data is physically located in the cloud service provider (CSP) and is outside of the data owner's
direct control. For organizations that choose encryption to protect their data, protecting their encryption keys is paramount.
The best-practice solution to this take-your-own-key problem is for enterprises to build robust keys in a tamper-resistant hardware security module (HSM) and control the secure export of their keys to the cloud, thus strengthening practice key management.
