Abstract: 
This paper presents a novel encryption model for secure data transmission between cloud-native applications deployed across Azure and GCP. Leveraging CI/CD pipelines, the model automatically generates dual encryption keys during build stages to secure data in transit. Python scripts integrated within Azure DevOps handle key generation, key vault access, and policy enforcement. Evaluations show the model reduces data breach exposure while complying with GDPR and HIPAA requirements. This work provides a foundation for cryptographically secure DevOps practices in regulated industries.
