VetKeys (verifiable encrypted threshold keys), has announced the beneficial news for users and developers regarding the security of their data while bringing applications fully on-chain. VetKeys is a cryptographic tool that protects data privacy while bringing the application fully onchain.
VetKeys is introduced by DFINITY Foundation for the Internet Computer (IC). The main purpose is to protect the users’ sensitive data and, at the same time, bring applications fully on-chain without trusting third parties or off-chain infrastructure for security.
VetKeys transform what's possible on blockchain.
