    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology include obtaining, by a first device associated with a first user account, one or more item-specific public keys of one or more devices associated with a second user account and generating a data structure representing the one or more devices associated with the second user account based on the one or more item-specific public keys. Aspects may also include providing an identifier of the data structure to a server for association with the item and generating an invitation for the second user account to access the item. Aspects may further include providing the invitation to a second device of the one or more devices associated with the second user account to provide the second device with access to the item via the server based on at least a portion of the data structure and a respective item-specific public key of the second device.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first device to join a group of related devices. The method receives input of a password for an account with a centralized entity and a code generated by a second device in the group. When the second device determines that the code input on the first device matches the generated code, the method receives an authentication code from the second device for authorizing the first device with the entity as a valid device for the account. The method uses the password and information regarding the first device to generate an application to the group. After sending the application to the second device, the method receives information from the second device that enables the first device to add itself to the group. The second device verifies the generated application, and the method uses the information received from the second device to join the group.

    Abstract: The subject technology may be implemented by a device that includes at least one processor configured to encrypt a data object based at least in part on an encryption key. The at least one processor may be further configured to sign the encrypted data object with a private key and transmit the signed encrypted data object to a server for retrieval by another device. The at least one processor may be further configured to generate a sharing object corresponding to the data object, wherein the sharing object includes an encryption key and a public key that corresponds to the private key. The at least one processor may be further configured to encrypt the sharing object using a key of the other device and transmit, over a secure channel, the encrypted sharing object to the other device for subsequent retrieval and verification of the signed data object from the server.
