                     SECURITY IN STEEM

Security in steemit talks about the measures set aside by the organization to guide and control the privacy of their members. In order to guide and control the privacy of members, there was need to develop some permission keys which have different usage and only known to the owner.
We have five permission keys in steemit namely Active key, master key, memo key, owner key and posting key.
Below is a brief explanation about them
•ACTIVE KEY
Active means involving in physical energetic pursuit.
The Active key can perform almost all functions that the owner key can do with the account expect for changing the owner key itself, however it's main function is to confirm transactions.
•MEMO MEY
A memo key is a type of document used to communicate with others in the same organization.
The memo key is the only key that is specifically used for converting information or data into codes and vice versa through the private message sent and received via your steemit account.
•OWNER KEY
When your in possession of anything, it simply means you own it.
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
•POSTING KEY
Post is a means of writing, image or other Item of content published online usually on a blog, social media, websites or an application
Posting is the major activity performed with this key but it has uses which includes up voting (Showing support) and down voting (demote) selecting who to and who not to follow etc.
•MASTER KEY
A Master is a skilled practitioner of a particular activity
The master key rises above other permission keys and it is designed to perform special activities like changing of other keys. It is also called Steemit Password because it influences other keys and resets at the top of the chain.
