## Lab Notebook

[Keyhive Background](https://www.inkandswitch.com/keyhive/notebook/00/)

> We’ve seen user-agency principals successfully applied to other contexts. [Signal](https://signal.org/) popularized end-to-end encrypted chat while retaining much of the convenience of less-secure messaging applications. <mark>We find ourselves asking “what would Signal for documents look like?”</mark>
## Code

<https://github.com/inkandswitch/keyhive>

- [`beelay-core`](https://github.com/inkandswitch/keyhive/tree/main/beelay/beelay-core): Auth-enabled sync over end-to-end encrypted data
- [`keyhive_core`](https://github.com/inkandswitch/keyhive/tree/main/keyhive_core): The core signing, encryption, and delegation system
- [`keyhive_wasm`](https://github.com/inkandswitch/keyhive/tree/main/keyhive_wasm): [Wasm](https://webassembly.org/) wrapper around `keyhive_core`, plus TypeScript bindings
