 What's up guys? I'm here at EdCon and today, or I would say my second review is I got John Pacific, who's a cryptographic engineer, a new cipher. John, how are you doing bro? I'm very well, how are you? Well my first question is this, right? So you and I have been talking about earlier is I want you to tell everybody what new cipher is. Sure. So a new cipher is a decentralized blockchain or it's a blockchain privacy layer which essentially is a somewhat like a key management system that allows us to, through the power of proxy re-encryption allows us to share data in otherwise public networks like IPFS or S3 for example, and share that with people as scalably and as needed and arbitrarily. So my question is why should anyone even care? Uh so if you're storing for example medical data, right? You obviously don't want to put that on IPFS because it's public. So what you would do is you'd encrypt it and then port it to store an IPFS, but the issue is how do you scalably share that data with multiple people? So many of our users such as Metablock have done this where now they store the data and they encrypt it under their own keys and using proxy re-encryption they can allocate access to it arbitrarily to any number of users. And again this is through proxy re-encryption so essentially normal public key encryption happens because Alice can encrypt something with Bob's public key and then Bob can decrypt it with his private key. Proxy re-encryption allows us to essentially grant access as needed so Alice will encrypt it with her own key and then Bob can request access from Alice and then Alice can grant access using the New Cipher network. So she generates re-encryption keys, distributes them to the network and then Bob goes to the network and requests access. If it's within a certain time frame or within a valid policy then he will be able to decrypt the data. So what are some businesses right now that would actually use New Cipher? Um so we've got uh Blue's out right now using us for access control. We have Fluence, Volk, Datum for data marketplace, Mediblock I just referenced. We have a few people in our Discord channel that are actually very interesting that we haven't officially made any of partnerships with but we will hoping to get this finalized in. Cool and so what's a roadmap in the near let's say six months for New Cipher? Six months. Within six months we're hoping to hit test NAT within a few months from now if not next month. Then after that hopefully mainnet in the summer in which we will do an ICO. So hopefully that's within our six months and that improving the protocol and getting some new things added to it. Cool and if people want to find more information about New Cipher what is the best resource? Uh go to our github which is github.com slash newcipher or go to newcipher.com and also join our Discord for more information and our mailing list and telegram. And also block cakes will be doing a joint venture with New Cipher. So heads up for that. Thanks John. Thank you.
