Only the writer's quota is affected when writing in shared dirs. Your encrypted data is ONLY encrypted for your device & paper keys, not any PGP keys you have. So as one of our first testers: back up anything you put into Keybase's alpha, and remember: we can't recover lost encrypted data.Īlso, if you throw away all your devices, you will lose your private data. Or push a bug that makes you throw away your private keys. Note that we could, hypothetically, lose your data at any time. This is far more secure than just asserting one identity.Īt the time of this document, there are very few people using this system. From then on, whenever you use their keybase username, everything in your follower statement must remain valid.
#Keybase files portable
When you follow someone on Keybase, you sign a portable summary of their identity, as you saw and verified it. It doesn't know you're writing pictures, Excel docs, your DNA sequence, or MP3s. If you write a 1MB file in a private folder called /keybase/private/yourname/pics_of_me/thong.jpg, the Keybase server has no idea this is a folder called pics_of_me, or that there's a file called thong.jpg, or whether you look good. It could try to guess whether you're writing 100 small files or 1 large file, but it would be a timing-based guess. The Keybase server does not know individual file names or subdirectory names.
#Keybase files manual
There's no manual signing process, no taring or gziping, no detached sigs.
You can now write data in a very special place: /keybase/public/yournameĮvery file you write in there is signed. Public, signed directories for everyone in the world Alpha releases of the Keybase app are starting to come with a cryptographically secure file mount.
