Tangential, but Keybase (and later Keyoxide [1]) with their “social proof” mechanics are a more human-friendly way to verify the encryption keys. I kinda wish Matrix had that integrated, too.

- lxgr 3y agoIs Keyoxide based on the Keybase codebase, or is it a new development? I quite enjoyed Keybase back in the day, but then they pivoted to being a crypto wallet, and were ultimately acquired by Zoom (a move I understand less every day, since they obviously gave up on their bold promises of end-to-end encryption they made back in 2020).
- lloeki 3y agoNot entirely clear but it doesn't seem so from the launch post verbiage: https://blog.keyoxide.org/keyoxide-launch/ https://blog.keyoxide.org/keyoxide-launch/ Code lives here if you want to dig: https://codeberg.org/keyoxide https://codeberg.org/keyoxide
- notpushkin 3y agoIt's completely new, and based entirely on PGP. The proofs are stored with your PGP key, so it's also decentralized. It doesn't have any amenities like chat or file storage – it only maps your social networks to a given PGP key. But I believe third parties (like Matrix) could step up and support it natively – all the benefits of Keybase, none of the drawbacks.
