- The actual physical storage of an encrypted key is left to implementations of [interface-datastore](https://github.com/ipfs/interface-datastore/). A key benifit is that now the key chain can be used in browser with the [js-datastore-level](https://github.com/ipfs/js-datastore-level) implementation.

- CMS, aka [PKCS #7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS) and [RFC 5652](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5652), describes an encapsulation syntax for data protection. It is used to digitally sign, digest, authenticate, or encrypt arbitrary message content. Basically, `cms.encrypt` creates a DER message that can be only be read by someone holding the private key.
