Description

There should be a way to send a signed message to the API and get back whether it was authenticated, and which keybase.io user signed it.

Basically, exactly what happens at https://keybase.io/verify, but from the API.

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested API behavior with the existing keybase.io/verify flow. Define how a signed message is submitted and how authentication status and the signing keybase.io user are returned; done means the API provides equivalent verification results.
