Cryptography

This is going to be a short article, but I thought this might be useful to someone else. As many of you may already know, I use a service called Keybase. This service provides a number of features:

• Prove ownership of your social media identities via cryptographic cross-verification
• Prove your identify for your PGP key via cross-verificatin to your known social identities
• Prove ownership of your devices cryptographically
• Share encrypted files between your devices seamlessly using KBFS
• Track other Keybase users and encrypt messages to them simply

Of course as should be obvious upon setting up your Keybase account, it has no relation to the existing OpenPGP Web of Trust (WoT), and therefore no easy way to connect the two.
