Achievement 2 :Basic Security in Steem by @david17
Hi steemians, here is my Achievement 2 post and thank you'll for patronizing.
MEANING OF SECURITY
Security simply means safeguarding a person, building or country against attacks.
SECURITY IN STEEM
Security in steemit talks about the procedures set aside by the organization to guide and control the privacy of its members.
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.
▪️OWNER KEY🔑
The owner permission key gives you free gate pass to access your steemit account at any time.
This key gives you access to change other keys and it is one of the most important keys in steemit.
▪️ ACTIVE KEY🔑
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.
▪️ MEMO KEY🔑
The memo key is the only key that is specifically used for encrypting (encryption is the process of converting information or data into codes ) 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.
▪️ POSTING KEY🔑
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.
▪️MASTER KEY🔑
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.
▪️ ACTIVE KEY🔑
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.
HOW TO SECURE YOUR KEYS
It is important to know that you must make sure your key is secured.
After @bright15 created my account, he told me to make sure I keep my details safe and immediately he copied my master key and other keys to my Gmail account and told me not to break the information to anyone to avoid 'had I know'.😃 later on.
