To clarify: Keybase.io, like Signal, Whatsapp and Telegram above, is encrypted but not P2P - all of them rely on centralized servers.

- SpaceLab_ 9y agoand thats where the vulnerability is, in the centralized servers
- aianus 9y agoThe only vulnerability introduced by the servers at keybase is denial of service. I believe the protocol and clients are open source and there is no need to trust their servers for the key distribution part either (keys are cryptographically verified from a variety of sources like DNS, Twitter, Reddit, HN for each recipient)
