Absent private data, has anyone experimented with encrypted event streams and some sort of auth gated private key exchange at the AppView level? I’m not really trying to solve for security so much as I am trying to solve for the ability to create a contract between a data source and an AppView

An architecture for collaborative applications where data is encrypted and operations are cryptographically verifiable.

Making end-to-end encrypted AI chat feel like logging in
We want private AI chat to be simple. Yet today, many end-to-end encrypted experiences still have a level of friction that make them feel like they’re from another era: it usually either involves a long seed phrase users are asked to “store securely,” insecure password based encryption, or apps that aren’t cross-device and lose your data periodically (on reinstall, browser cache clear, etc).

The Long Tail of Work Left Until ActivityPub Has E2EE - Dhole Moments
Separate from my proposal for key transparency for the Fediverse (which I’ve certainly blogged about a lot), the W3C has been working on building out end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for Activity…

Permissioned Data Shapes: Notifications - Nick's Blog
A self-keyed space gives notifications a home you control: every app gets an append-only sink to write into, you pick the reader that turns them into pushes and emails, and allowing or revoking an app is an access control you already have.

Confessions to a data lake
I’ve been building Confer: end-to-end encryption for AI chats. With Confer, your conversations are encrypted so that nobody else can see them. Confer can’t read them, train on them, or hand them over – because only you have access to them.

Keybase Book
Use Keybase for end-to-end encrypted chat messaging, file sharing, and team collaboration. Get the free app for iOS, Mac, Android, Windows, and Linux.
The key questions: how much power will apps be given to determine and enforce what data is permissioned? What incentives will apps have to make any data public? So far the protocol has been a forcing function for (adversarial) interop. We need to be intentional about not recreating app silos.

hey we're really working on permissioned data! read the first in a series of posts i'll be doing about our design decisions along the way. this one is about our decision to not do an e2ee system
