Hi all,
I am sending two new packages on their way to Factory: keybase-client and kbfs.
Keybase [1] provides a functionality to get somewhat trustworthy crypto keys of others based on their presences on the internet (e.g. Homepage, Social Media Account). Obviously this is not as good as a fully handvalidated PGP key but much better than just grabbing the first key matching an Email address of a Key Server. Especially if you only have a Github account name and no mail address.
keybase-client [2] is the official, open-source command line client for Keybase and enables using the core functionality, including tracking other accounts, pulling PGP keys for those, and binding the account to presences on the web by generating proofs.
kbfs [3] supplements the keybase-client by also providing the open-source FUSE service and Git remote helper required to use Keybase's add-on functionality of the Keybase Filesystem and Keybase Git repositories. In both cases data is stored signed and encrypted on Keybase servers with keys being managed on the client via the keybase accounts. Some of this functionality is also exposed via the command-line client but won't work unless kbfs is also installed.
As these are crypto-related packages, the security project is used as a devel project.
I hope these prove useful to some.
Kind Regards, Matthias
