Hey /g/, any of you netsec/crypto-inclined on here? Would anyone

For anyone that's interested, Keybase is an online identity-verifying and messaging service.

It utilizes RSA encryption for secure authentication of online accounts, websites, and Bitcoin wallets. It assigns you a public key and associates it to your account, so people can send you encrypted messages via an insecure channel.

is there seriously no cryptofag on /g/ right now?

one last bumpu

How many people use this?

It's in Invite-only beta, so only that much.

fucking con artist gtfo

you're not touching my coins

Who gives a shit? Wouldn't a site like this be the first place feds look into when trying to find illegal activity? It's like a big neon sign that says "HEY GUYS IM SELLING DRUGS AND GOVERNMENT SECRETS. PLEASE DONT LOOK THOUGH AND RESPECT MY PRIVACY" for anything that you're that concerned about security just send it over yahoo using a pad encryption and an email that gets tons of spam you dumb fuck

I don't know how this site would give away any of that information.

I think maybe you should check the README.md, or even just the homepage of the site?

>>54902913
This so much.

I don't think you quite understand how this service works

Says the shill

>>54903170
Explain how this website seems malicious in any way

Good grief. Look. Keybase is for authenticating public keys and accounts by posting proofs-of-ownership, you numbskulls. It's an augmentation of web-of-trust (which doesn't really work that well in practice).

So if you were verifying your Bitcoin address, you'd be publicly verifying that the short public key string that lets people send coins to you actually belongs to you, not posting your sodding private wallet.

I've been in for what, maybe a year now? That said I don't think anyone actually used it, but that's GPG for you. I haven't installed any software from it (proofs can be done purely from the bash command line where you can clearly see everything that gets signed and why), nor does it have any of my keys or accounts.

Thank you, someone that know's what they're talking about

Go away goyim. You can't fool me; these are my hard earned shekels

Yeah sure I'll take one. Learning about some cryptography stuff at the moment, maybe it'll come in handy.
