However, I think it makes encrypted communication between users easier. Obviously, keybase.io is not an ultimate solution to the encrypted messaging. I am pretty sure you won’t be able to store any huge file but it’s great for communicating small text files or any data to be communicated encrypted. The idea is pretty cool and you can also run private shares between users. You can go to their website and find other people’s id and start sharing files as well. Every file you write in /keybase/public/stalkcalvin is signed and shared by the user stalkcalvin which is me. Basically, after your installation of keybase app, you are able to locate your user’s directory, and share files. When you are in their messaging page, you can type in recipient like stalkcalvin which would send me a secured message. Also, along with their keybase commands, they provide a nice and easy user interface to send an encrypted message as well as signing option to prove yourself. After you join keybase, you will be able to follow me by clicking the follow link on my profile page. I haven’t tried keybase with another user since I am yet to find another person who uses keybase. These commands work fairly well and easy. They provide a quick and easy encryption/decryption method through their keybase commands. After you downloaded their app, you will able to run all these command line keybase commands. As you can see, I have already proven myself for a couple of social medias of mine. It is varied depending on what kind of social media to identify as you. Another example like my blog, I had to create a keybase.txt. There was an easy guide on how to do this from keybase.io website. For example, I proved my Github by posting a gist keybase.md in my GitHub. They have a very nice step-by-step guide on how to make social media recognized as yours. Then you can identify yourself through their method of recognition of your social medias. I would first go to their website and signup, here is my invitation for you to be able to join. It uses encryption program called PGP, which is an asymmetric scheme that uses a pair of keys for encryption. Unless you can hack through my key which is 2 128 bit key which has lbit public key, good luck hacking it!. You can trust that it is actually me you are communicating, not some sort of impersonator as long as I am holding my private key by myself. I have tried Mac version, it works quite nicely and I think they made it pretty easy for me to communicate in the form of encrypting/decrypting stuff. They have their keybase app where you can download depending on your OS. It was operated by invitation only for quite some time but it is now being made available in public. Basically, it builds another layer of trust on our social media accounts + lets you easily encrypt, decrypt and share messages within a tried-and-tested encryption standard. I found out something quite interesting over the last weekend, keybase.io. #computer #keybase #encryption #messaging « What's Next?
