Using Customer Managed Encryption Keys ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Table data is always encrypted at rest, but BigQuery also provides a way for you to control what keys it uses to encrypt they data. See `Protecting data with Cloud KMS keys `_ in the BigQuery documentation for more details. Create a new table, using a customer-managed encryption key from Cloud KMS to encrypt it. .. literalinclude:: ../samples/snippets/create_table_cmek.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :start-after: [START bigquery_create_table_cmek] :end-before: [END bigquery_create_table_cmek] Change the key used to encrypt a table. .. literalinclude:: ../snippets.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :start-after: [START bigquery_update_table_cmek] :end-before: [END bigquery_update_table_cmek] Load a file from Cloud Storage, using a customer-managed encryption key from Cloud KMS for the destination table. .. literalinclude:: ../samples/load_table_uri_cmek.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :start-after: [START bigquery_load_table_gcs_json_cmek] :end-before: [END bigquery_load_table_gcs_json_cmek] Copy a table, using a customer-managed encryption key from Cloud KMS for the destination table. .. literalinclude:: ../samples/copy_table_cmek.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :start-after: [START bigquery_copy_table_cmek] :end-before: [END bigquery_copy_table_cmek] Write query results to a table, using a customer-managed encryption key from Cloud KMS for the destination table. .. literalinclude:: ../samples/client_query_destination_table_cmek.py :language: python :dedent: 4 :start-after: [START bigquery_query_destination_table_cmek] :end-before: [END bigquery_query_destination_table_cmek]
