Sometimes working with Appsembler requires the need to send and receive information that is sensitive and should not be exposed to the open internet. We choose to use Keybase.io for these sorts of exchanges due to their high track record as a secure system and relatively easy to use platform.

1. Create a Keybase account

1. Navigate to https://keybase.io/
2. Click “Join” in the upper right hand corner of the screen. 
3. Fill out the form that pops up, and click “Join” 

You now have a Keybase account!

2. Add a PGP Key

You now have a Keybase account! In order to use it to securely encrypt/decrypt information, you need a 
PGP Key. Keybase makes it very simple. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Go to your profile (keybase.io/YourUserName) and click the “add a PGP Key” link. 
2. Choose whether or not you have a public key or if you need one. If you don’t know, you probably need one – click the button on the left.

If you have a public key already…

You will be prompted to add it to Keybase. Simply paste it in and click Save.

If you need a public key…

Keybase will walk you through the process for generating a brand new public key for you. It’s very straightforward. Here are the steps involved:

• Keybase will explain what’s about to happen. Just click “Ok, got it” 
• Add some public information, then click “Let the math begin” 
• Let Keybase do its math.
• Once it’s done, you will see a message with your new public key. That’s it! Just click “<3 Done, post to Keybase” 

Your Keybase profile should now look something like this: 

3. Receive encrypted information.

To allow us to send you encrypted information, follow these steps:

• Send us your Keybase profile. This is just the URL of your profile it will be something like keybase.io/codytest 

• Appsembler will then encrypt the message and send it to you. It will look something like this:
