📌

I built ShakeMyHand because, let's face it, the digital world can be a wild west of who's who. Am I dealing with my remote team member or some digital doppelgänger? Especially with all the clever AI tricks out there now, we could all use a secret handshake that keeps our chats, e-mails and video calls legit. If you've ever second-guessed a message or hesitated before hitting 'send' on that money transfer, this app's for you too. Give it a spin, and let me know what you think.

@codewithimanshu it’s platform agnostic. It works for all types of communication. Email, video chats, text messages, phone calls, etc. The point of the app is that you and the other side (a friend, a colleague, a family member, etc) use ShakeMyHand to generate a shared pass phrase that unique to just the two of you and that regenerates often (like those 6 digit pass codes you generate with an authenticator app). Then, whenever you need to validate your friends identity (because he just send you a payment request for example), you ask your friend for the current pass phrase and you check ShakeMyHand if it matches. If your friend gives you the correct pass phrase you can be pretty sure its your friend making the request.

@codewithimanshu @fluxmatix if they are sending the message through their whatsapp/email I don't understand how AI plays a role here? If they are hacked it's fake but if it's not hacked it's surely them. I understand the idea using a phonecall from an unknown number? Is that the only use case?

I'm struggling to understand how the concept is supposed to work once the QR codes have been verified. Will the app automatically tell me that the email I received is from the right person or a whatsapp message? What is the difference to calling the person and asking if they actually sent the message? Regardless of my unanswered questions, I support the issues of cyber security and personal identification security. I think we will need many concepts and implementations like this app in the near future, especially with the advent of AI, which will allow scammers to make their activities much easier. Congratulations on the launch

@abracadabrawork Good questions. The short answer is: no, the app won't do any automatic verification or put a checkmark next to a WhatsApp message for example. Once you've paired with a contact, both parties' apps will generate the same passphrase at any given moment. Here's how that adds a layer of security: 1. Manual Verification: When you receive a communication you want to verify, you can request the current passphrase from the sender. If the passphrase they provide matches the one on your app, you can trust the communication is authentic. So this is a manual process. 2. Proactive Sharing: Alternatively, when sending a message or email, you can include the current passphrase. The recipient can then cross-reference it with their app, confirming your identity. This method differs from the phone call in your example because theoretically, you'd ask your contact for the passphrase during said phone call to make sure your contact is the real deal and not some clever scammer with an AI voice modifier (in the case of a phone call).

Interesting solution to a problem I've personally never dealt with. Is it really common for people impersonating someone close to you and be able to reach you through their number or email?

@archiemax My family is dealing with it quite a bit. Fathers receiving messages from their 'daughter' that they've lost their phone and need money 'urgently' for a new one. Also in my team at my company people slack me for credentials, permissions, etc. and I always have to ask them to confirm their request through a secondary channel for verification. It's just a little messy.
