MacLane Wilkison: I first discovered proxy re-encryption while working on ZeroDB, an end-to-end encrypted database. We used it as a way to allow other people to query your encrypted data. It's a really bizarre technology that intuitively seems like it shouldn't be possible: taking data encrypted under one key and "transforming" or re-encrypting it such that it's encrypted under another key.
