It allows you to create HD wallets (xPubs) and sign transactions locally without a network connection (offline).
    The KMS can be used in combination with Crypto APIs product suite for syncing xPub, deriving wallet  addresses, listing wallet addresses, getting fee recommendations, preparing the transaction with the  right data, broadcasting locally signed transactions.
