Gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.30 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. You can do this either with the Keybase CLI or GPG. Now that you have your Keybase account and CLI tools, you’ll need to generate a public PGP key so you can encrypt/decrypt files and messages. Generating your public PGP Key for Keybase I ultimately used the installer so I could have the app as well to explore later.
#KEYBASE INSTALL UPDATE#
Note that you may need to run brew update & brew upgrade keybase.
#KEYBASE INSTALL INSTALL#
For Keybase, you can either use the Keybase installer which installs an app and the CLI utility, or you can use Homebrew: brew install keybase. The GPG Tools suite is available on their site for Macs. You’ll need to install GPG Tools and Keybase. As with all things security: be aware, take care! This makes sense, since you wouldn’t want to delete your account and then have someone else come along and pretend to be you.
To clarify #2: this means if you delete your account, the username does not re-enter the free pool.
Once a user name is used, it cannot be reused. You cannot change your username later, unless you open a new account and delete the old one which brings me to the next point:. Remember, Keybase is an identity management service, which means that: When you choose your name, choose with caution. Signup for Keybase with either your invite or when your lucky # is drawn from the queue. Since the privacy policy is subject to change, make sure you read the latest version when you sign up and keep your knowledge of it up-to-date. "We may disclose any information, including your Personal Information and any other information or data collected, stored or processed on our servers, if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary…to protect the personal safety of Keybase employees, customers, or the public." I read "good faith" as them asking me to rely on them to Do No Evil with my data, which you may or may not want to do depending on what types of secure information you are interested in sharing. This information is stored in logs that "may persist for an indefinite period." So Keybase gathers and stores your IP address, host computer preferences, URL of the site that referred you to the service, how you interacted with the Keybase UI, and how long you were logged in for. Usage information is automatically collected and does not appear to be disable…able. Some potentially less obvious collection, usage, and sharing: If you share data with Twitter, it is bound by Twitter’s privacy policy not Keybase’s. Keybase is not responsible for any information you choose to share with third parties. Data may be shared as a result of a business transaction, such as a corporate restructuring or merger. Data may be shared to comply with the law after receiving a request via a lawful process. The information you put in your profile, including the names of the accounts you choose to verify, are publicly visible. the name you provide, your location, etc., is all stored. The information you provide when signing up, i.e. Probably obvious data collection, usage, and sharing: I’m sure a lot of us are guilty of "leafing" through privacy policies and usage agreements however, considering that Keybase’s purpose is to store sensitive information you might want to be aware of the what/where/how they collect and store data. Make sure you read Keybase’s privacy policy. It’s worth noting that while Keybase does work with GPG and does have a relatively slick CLI, the Keybase CLI does lack equivalents to gpg -list-keys and gpg -export.Ĭurrently Keybase is in alpha – so that means you need an invite or you can join the wait queue. It’s a new feature and definitely worth reading more about here. Keybase has also created their own file system, which encrypts everything in their mounted drive. The idea is that when you meet someone online and want to exchange secure messages or files with them, you will want some way to establish the other party is who they say they are. Keybase is an identity management service allowing users to manage keys, social media accounts, and devices. Specifically, GPG Tools includes a utility that integrates with Apple Mail, a GPG Keychain to manage OpenPGP keys, and a command line tool (which I will be using below). GPG, or GNU Privacy Guard, is a replacement for Symantec’s PGP cryptographic software suite and allows users to encrypt sensitive information.
