Comment on I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age
Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks agoThe EU actually was working on a system described above based on some sort of zero knowledge proof (so verification via your gov’t id, but without the verifying party being able to assert anything other than age > 18 or whatever data you want to verify)

So being able to get a token without even the government knowing?
Because if it’s the alternative of the government itself issuing the token and it being only the receiving site not knowing, but the government being able to link it back to you I wouldn’t be happy with that either.

I think that’s the idea of zero-knowledge proofs. Nobody ever knows anything about the other party. Monero uses them (among other things) to be truly anonymous.
