Description: PAD stands for Privacy-Preserving Accountable Decryption. The PAD Tech mission is to ensure that you are necessarily informed when data relevant to you are processed. It does this by forcing decryptions of the data to be reported on a blockchain. Decryptions simply cannot happen otherwise.

PAD is a new tool to safeguard and responsibly share your data. Only parties you nominate have access rights, and PAD automatically provides you with proofs of who has accessed your data, how many times, and when.
The PAD tech mission is to ensure that you are necessarily informed when data relevant to you are processed. It does this by forcing decryptions of the data to be reported on a blockchain. Decryptions simply cannot happen otherwise. You can inspect the blockchain to see which decryptions of data relevant to you have taken place, and you have the evidence to take action against those who have decrypted your data outside the agreed terms. All this happens without the actual data being revealed otherwise.
The PAD workflow starts with data relevant to you becoming PAD-encrypted. This can be any kind of data, such as financial data, medical data, identity data, or others. Once the data is PAD-encrypted, the only way it can be viewed or processed is by PAD-decrypting it. But PAD-decryption is possible only if a record of the decryption request has been placed on the relevant ledger or blockchain. This ensures that the acts of decryption can never be done stealthily and are instead inevitably recorded on a tampe
