Google tests NSA proof encryption to protect its users data on Google Drive.


Google is exploring ways to encrypt files stored in Google Drive to prevent the the U.S. government and
other authorities from demanding access to user data, according to a CNET report.

Many companies use SSL and HTTPS to securely transmit data from a users computer to the destination servers.This protects the data from anyone listening in on the transmission, a procedure called a man-in-the-middle attack.Currently, when you upload or download something from Google Drive the transmission is in encrypted form,but Google is storing that data in an unencrypted manner.
