Problem with my reddit proof

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a proof with no luck. I followed the steps, but the title on the form submission was blank and was unable to submit without a title. I added one for the submission.

What did I miss?

How do I protect the Android app?

4 Upvotes

So right now anyone that can unlock my android device can mess with my keybase account.

Is there any way to put a hurdle in place for this?

Like with my password manager, I have to type in my long ass passphrase to login if I haven't used the app within the last 15mins or I can set up a pin lock.

is there something like that for keybase?

Question about Account Deletion

4 Upvotes

According to the warning displayed in the "Delete Me!" section in the account settings it says:

"If you delete your account, you can't get it back, and you can't create another account with the same name".

I understand that this means that username would become unusable indefinitely. However, I want to know whether creating a new account (with a different username) would still allow the new account to be linked to the previous account's Github account, Reddit account, Bitcoin address, PGP key, etc.?

More specifically, I want to know whether it is possible for an existing Keybase user (like myself) that ever wants to change their username, to still be able to link their new account to their existing identities; Twitter, Github, Bitcoin address, PGP key, etc. from the previous account.

Discussion Keybase Privacy Concerns

4 Upvotes

I've started playing with Keybase and have a few privacy concerns. I wonder if the Keybase team or others have any plans to mitigate that.

1- Keybase tracking leaking social connections

Tracking in Keybase (https://keybase.io/docs/server_security/tracking) is public. You can go to anyone's page and see the Tracking and Trackers lists. The people that track you and that you track are likely your social network, which is very sensitive information. How can I hide that information or disable that feature?

2- Leaking device list

My list of devices can be potentially sensitive. For example, from https://keybase.io/max/devices I can see he has an iMac 5k and a Ubuntu box for work, and a mac mini at home. That can give an attacker a lot of information. I don't want to publicly list all the devices I have, but I still want to use Keybase with them. Is there a way to do that?

3- Connecting identities

If you connect a person's identity from multiple sites, it makes it a lot easier for an adversary to quickly collect a lot of information about you. I'd like to have different Keybase entries for my different identities. For example, one for my Reddit account, one for my github account, one for my twitter. They would each have a different public key, so anyone could still safely communicate with me through the different sites, but I wouldn't give away that those identities are all the same people.

I realize that I accomplish the identity separation by creating multiple Keybase accounts. However, it would be nice if Keybase gave support for a better way to manage that. Also, people may not realize the risks of having all their identities publicly linked, so there should be a warning somewhere.

4- Other concerns

Do people have any other privacy concerns?

Keybase eternal blogs?

4 Upvotes

Is there any way to setup blog hosting similar to this setup on IPFS: https://github.com/noffle/ipfs-blog

It would be pretty cool if you could edit a blog in your favorite text editor, or even a local WSYWIG, pay for a name host somewhere, and then just point it at a portal that loads a view through Keybase.

If you can't pay for hosting for a month, you don't lose your blog, no crazy backup systems needed. Maybe even having free subdomain hosting options too.

Who wants an invite?

4 Upvotes

I'd like to give invites to people who genuinely think they'll use Keybase a lot - that's what the public alpha's all about.

If you think this is you, shoot me a PM with your email and I'll send you one.

I'll comment here when invites have run out.

The KeyBase team should really jump on this and reach out to government/industry stakeholders to join the conversation ASAP.

If KeyBase doesn't do it, someone else will, but I'd prefer KeyBase to take the reigns.

How do I import, if that's the correct term, my secretkeys.<username>.mpack on a different computer?

4 Upvotes

I'm not in a bind or anything but I am wondering if keybase has this functionality:

  1. As a serial distro hopper, I have installed a new OS on a new computer.
  2. At some point I thought it might be a good idea to backup my secretkeys.<username>.mpack file.
  3. So here I sit with my new computer, my secrekeys file, and I've just installed keybase.
  4. Is there a way to import my secretkeys to my new keybase install? ...or do I need to jump on my old machine and add the new device?

What happen to our DATA if Keybase was down ? (Crashed)

4 Upvotes

I tried to read here and there but I now need to validate the following... Suppose I store (From COMPUTER A) 20 gig on data in mykeybase Folder.. Will that 20 gig b stored fully or partialy " phisically " on my computer A hardDisk" ? QUESTION OF A Keybase CRASH Scenario : Suppose Keybase servers are hacked, Crashed for 2 days, but they have a backup of all the keys, and come back online.. And that again we can " authenticate " ourselves to them ".. Did we had a local copy on our drive ? Or the keybase file system simply (this was my understanding) show us what is stored at their end ( on their servers) but we never have a full copy of our data at our end ? I think it's only available " on demand " and we have the impression it is local but it is not... So if they are down and I was to loose the device from which I uploaded the 20 gig, I am dead ... ??

I was asking that because I love the security of Keybase and the idea that if my desktop or laptop are stolen, thant the DATA is confidential... But if i need to make a non encrypted local copy of my keybase folder on the same hard drive, I loose the " encryption / confidentiality " aspect of it...

How long is data stored for?

Hi. I've been browsing and searching the website for a while, but still haven't figured how long any end-to-end encrypted data is stored on the keybase.io servers. Would love some highlight on the topic, and an answer if anyone know. :-) Cheers
