Review of Security on Steemit Platform

---

One would ask what is security?In my opinion, security is the fundamental rule one should obey in order to get protected from thieves, loss of property, saving ones life or accident. So, transferring this knowledge in Steem is similar to protect one’s account from losses, hackers, compromising one’s account that can lead to discontinuity.

Having known this, it's very important to save the number of keys that one generated from steem as this is the most important for one to be secured in steem blockchain.
In view of these, I have retrieved all my Steemit passwords and saved them on my computer and Email. I also saved copies on my external hard drive.
In a tabular form these keys are listed and their functionality shown as well.

Keys	Permissions
Posting Key	Publish a post or comment Edit a post or comment Upvote or Downvote Resteem content Follow people Mute account
Active Key	Transfer Token Power Steem up or Down SDB conversion Vote for witness Place an order on an exchange certain profile changes publish a witness Price feed create a new user
Owner Key	Reset owner, active and posting keys Recover your account Decline voting rights
Memo Key	Send an encrypted message view an encrypted message

I have read and understood the functions and restrictions of these keys. I keep the blog post on Keys in a handy place so I can be able to refer to the notes often.

The master password is used to derive all keys for your account, including the owner key. It is the most important key
