### Cryptography
[*"Umbral: A Threshold Proxy Re-Encryption Scheme"*](https://github.com/nucypher/umbral-doc/blob/master/umbral-doc.pdf)
*by David Nuñez*
TACo (Threshold Access Control) is end-to-end encrypted data sharing and communication, without the requirement of
trusting a centralized authority, who might unilaterally deny service or even decrypt private user data. It is the only
access control layer available to Web3 developers that can offer a decentralized service, through a live,
well-collateralized and battle-tested network. See more here: [https://docs.threshold.network/applications/threshold-access-control](https://docs.threshold.network/applications/threshold-access-control)
