Brining vs. Curing

Chef,
 
As always, thanks for the fantastic lecture.  Now that I'm gaining an understanding of brining, I'd like to better understand the difference between brining and curing.  Currently my understanding is that brining is to prepare a protine for cooking, and curing is used to draw out moisture for long term room temprature storage. In cooking what are the typical applications for curing?
