IMPORTANT

This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.

  • Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
  • This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
  • You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
  • There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
WARNING

There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

foks has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

  • The package maintainer field (owners) matches the software author field (authors) in the nuspec. The reviewer will ensure that the package maintainer is also the software author. More...

foks has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.

Description

FOKS is a federated protocol that allows for online public key advertisement,
sharing, and rotation. It works for a user and their many devices, for many users who want
to form a group, for groups of groups etc. The core primitive is that several
private key holders can conveniently share a private key; and that private key
can simply correspond to another public/private key pair, which can be members
of a group one level up. This pattern can continue recursively forming a tree.

Crucially, if any private key is removed from a key share, all shares rooted at
that key must rotate. FOKS implements that rotation.

Like email or the Web, the world consists of multiple FOKS servers, administrated
independently and speaking the same protocol. Groups can span multiple federated
services.

Many applications can be built on top of this primitive but best suited are those
that share end-to-end encrypted, persistent information across groups of users with multiple
devices. For instance, files and git hosting.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
