  NuCypher KMS is a decentralized Key Management System (KMS) that addresses
the limitations of using consensus networks to securely store and manipulate
private, encrypted data. It provides encryption and cryptographic access
controls, performed by a decentralized network, leveraging proxy re-encryption.
Unlike centralized KMS as a service solutions, it doesn't require trusting a
service provider. NuCypher KMS enables sharing of sensitive data for both
decentralized and centralized applications, providing security infrastructure
for applications from healthcare to identity management to decentralized
content marketplaces. NuCypher KMS will be an essential part of decentralized
applications, just as SSL/TLS is an essential part of every secure web
application.
