Use this route before any login, signer, community posting, profile claim or private-data workflow. The product rule is simple: no feature can make private keys less safe.

Privacy and security A practical security guide: private keys, public events, signer safety, relay metadata, encryption limits, scams, recovery and user education. Keys and identity How public keys, private keys, signatures, npub/nsec, NIP-05 and signers create a portable identity layer. NIP-07 signers Our archive page for NIP-07, explaining what it does, where it fits in Nostr and why it matters for identity, apps, relays and real-world systems. NIP-46 remote signing Our archive page for NIP-46, explaining what it does, where it fits in Nostr and why it matters for identity, apps, relays and real-world systems. NIP-98 HTTP auth Our archive page for NIP-98, explaining what it does, where it fits in Nostr and why it matters for identity, apps, relays and real-world systems. Web of trust Search, indexing, reputation and web-of-trust patterns for making an open Nostr graph usable.

Safety room

Protect the key before you invite anyone to contribute.

Every login, signer, posting and profile flow has to pass the same test: never ask for private keys, explain public data clearly and keep risky actions reviewable.

Safety checks
No nsec Never paste a private key into a website. Signer first Use NIP-07 or remote signing for write actions. Public data Explain what events, metadata and relays reveal. Trust signals Use labels, reports and web-of-trust carefully.
Privacy and security Start with the safety overview. Remote signing Understand NIP-46 before asking users to write. HTTP auth Use signed auth instead of trusting a pasted pubkey.
