# Keybase |  | **Keybase** is a key directory that maps social media identities to encryption keys in a publicly auditable manner. Additionally it offers an end-to-end encrypted chat and cloud storage system, called Keybase Chat and the Keybase Filesystem respectively. Files placed in the public portion of the filesystem are served from a public endpoint, as well as locally from a filesystem mounted by the Keybase client. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Keybase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keybase) |
