I'm really happy to write this achievement 2 which talks about security. In this case, I have noticed that when dealing with Steemit you need to know the uses of some vital keys which includes; Active keys, memo keys, private posting keys and many others). Thanks to @amadib, @bright15 for carefully brushing me up about this task. Also thanks @cryptokannon for this opportunity to be among the Steemians although my achievement 1 was not voted only verified, I hope this one should be voted and verified thanks.
Security can be seen or defined as the protection of a person, organization, building or country against threats such as crimes attacks ok the people or the government.
Security in steemit talks all about the measures set aside by the organization to guide and control the privacy of its members.
In order to guide and control the privacy of members, there was need to develop some permission keys which have different usage and only known to the owner.
The five permission keys in steemit are active key, master key, memo key, owner key and posting key.
Below is a brief explanation about them
Active means engaging in physically energetic pursuits.
The Active Key can perform almost all functions that the Owner Key can do with the account except for changing the Owner Key itself. However, it's main function is for confirmation of transactions.
A memo is a type of document that is used to communicate with others in the same organization.
The memo key is the only key that is specifically used for encrypting (encryption is the process of converting information or data into codees ) and decrypting ( decryption is the process of converting an encrypted message message back to its original form ) private messages sent & received via your Steemit account.
To own means to be in possession of something.
The owner key enables you to be in charge of your steemit account and also allows you to be able to change other keys.
Post is a piece of writing, image or other item of content published online typically on a blog, social media website or an application.
Posting is the major activity performed with this key buy it has uses which includes up voting (showing support) and down voting(demoting), selecting who to and who not follow etc.
A master is a skilled practitioner of a particular art or activity,
The master key rises above other permission keys and its designed to perform special activities like changing of other keys. It is also called steemit password because it influences other keys and rests at the top of the chain.
Everyone has different ways to secure their keys based on their point of view but the most important thing is to know is that you must make sure your key is secured.
After @amadib created my account, he told me to make sure I keep my details safe and immediately I copied my master key and other keys to my Gmail account where I have access to it even if my phone unfortunately gets missing and locked my PDF reader with a strong password to prevent fraudsters from getting it.
