I really like what Keybase.io is working on with encryption and validating identity. > By convention, directory signing stinks. You have to archive, and then, outside of the archive, you can distribute signed statements about the archive. Verification is even more gnarly: you have to hash, unpack, check an external statement, download a key, and verify the key via a web of trust or other source. This is the Keybase alternative. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [Keybase](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/384659e9f751/) (keybase.io, March 6, 2014) - [Keybase's New Key Model](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0fb29592cb0e/) (keybase.io, September 28, 2015) - [Introducing the Keybase filesystem](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/acd5a1515ecb/) (keybase.io, February 5, 2016) - [Introducing Keybase Chat](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b9fb5e361589/) (keybase.io, February 9, 2017) ## Saved the same week - [Delightful robots for children to program - Play-i](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4084614eb44c/) (play-i.com, June 19, 2014) - [AnandTech - Manual Camera Controls in iOS 8](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/28b35e93e313/) (anandtech.com, June 19, 2014) - [Prolost - Blog - Lightroom for Your Camera](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/617ead8f48e0/) (prolost.com, June 19, 2014) - [Glass Half Empty - YouTube](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0252f5aa08a5/) (youtube.com, June 19, 2014) - [MyFC PowerTrekk - Fuel Cell Charger](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5bd0f584dbde/) (powertrekk.com, June 22, 2014) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://keybase.io/docs/command_line/code_signing
