BigQuery claims encryption at-rest support since Google encrypts data in its data centers[1] but apparently this encryption is done using Google's own keys.

Does BigQuery support customer-provided keys for at-rest data encryption?

Yes, BigQuery provides support for customer supplied encryption keys using the Google Cloud Console[1] and there is also experimental support for encryption keys using encrypted BigQuery client[2]. There is a broader range of capabilities that support customer supplied encryption keys in Google Cloud Storage and Google Compute Engine[3]
