Well, you can have your GPG Private Key online if you like, but thats not my point. The new system moves away from having any sort of master key.

Rather every device has a new key, and they all sign each other. You can add new devices without old proves being invalidated.

See: https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model and https://saltpack.org/

I would really like a solution using this stuff that is highly integrated with my mail client.




That's an interesting solution. Rather than having keybase keep your key, your devices are communicating directly to validate each other? I'm going to have to review this in more detail, thanks.


Currently you have to use a paper key to do it. You then upload a public prove chain. Its not where it should be yet, but the concept is pretty good.
