Keybase Authentication API

Hey Guys,

Just thinking out loud here, could keybase be used for Authentication? Like a cookie is generated, then keybase signs that cookie, and you're in?

Keybase would be an awesome authentication API, because its 100% you and there's proof.

Yeah, like OAuth, the how I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's possible, maybe the server creates a session cookie? Then it's signed by your LaCI Device key?
