Keybase was founded in ?2014 by Chris Coyne and Max Krohn, who are also the ?co-founders of OkCupid and SparkNotes.?
?Here are some of its key features and concepts:?
? Keybase allows users to ?connect their Keybase profiles with their other online identities, such as ?Twitter, ?GitHub, Reddit, and more, by posting cryptographic signatures as proofs. This means users can ✅prove they own an external account without revealing any credentials to Keybase.☄️
? Messages sent through Keybase are ?end-to-end encrypted, meaning that only the ➡️sender and ⬅️receiver can read them. The service does not have access to the unencrypted content.✔️
? Keybase generates a public and a ?private key for each user. The private key is kept ?secret, while the public key is used to verify signatures and encrypt messages to the user.
Zoom’s acquisition of Keybase came at a time when Zoom was facing intense scrutiny over its ?security practices. The company announced that the Keybase team would ?lead the security engineering for Zoom, focusing on implementing true ?end-to-end encryption for Zoom meetings, which was a significant step for the video conferencing platform.?
☄️Keybase integrated with ?Stellar, allowing users to send and receive Stellar Lumens (XLM) ?cryptocurrency directly through the app. This addition positioned Keybase as a ?multifunctional tool that addressed secure communication and financial transactions.
