My problem with all things encrypted in communication is that no-one on the other end is ever willing to cooperate.

Glorious.Ĭlient - Keybase Go Library, Client, Service, OS X, iOS, Android, Electron If they don't have an account yet, you can reference their Twitter name for example ( Once they verify that account, they can see the files. The way you can store files is a little unique - you have private and public folders where you can put files, but you can also share files specifically with other people, like so: /keybase/private/me,you. Keybase also provides some other services including end-to-end encrypted chat and file sharing capabilities up to 10GB.
Keybase vs signal install#
In order to do much more than that it encourages you to post your public key and install the app. It's easy enough to do the bare minimum, which is basically just connecting Twitter and Facebook together to prove you're the same person. It's an open source cryptographic manager built on Go to try to bring crypto to "everyone," not just programmers. The more substantial part of my weekends has been working with Keybase. I'm now using Keepass2Android on my phone - it's working very well and I've had no issues. I gave up trying to import directly to KeePassX and just copy/pasted directly from the csv I got from LastPass. I'd heard enough about it, and it gets away from using proprietary software and storing all the important information on somebody else's servers. I'd been having some issues with it recently - a lot of bugs in the Chrome extension. One of the first things I wanted to do was move away from LastPass. While I've seen it around I had never read into it much or used it to any extent other than what's automated through ProtonMail or verifying packages through package managers. I'd never touched GPG before (or PGP for that matter). Over the past couple of weekends, I've been trying to dig in and fix my crypto life - up until this point I have been using LastPass and 2FA through Authy, and that was the extent of my personal security.
