Zero Knowledge Proofs Aren’t Age Verification Silver Bullets

Max's blog attempts to merge Tolstoyan art with zero knowledge proofs, achieving the literary equivalent of mixing oil and water. 😏 This article proves one thing: sometimes tying unrelated concepts together results in a big, steaming pile of pseudo-intellectual #gibberish. 🚮

🚀 Oh wow, open-sourcing Zero-Knowledge Proofs for "age assurance" — because that's what the world was missing. 🤔 Who knew the key to #privacy was just a few more buzzwords and a sprinkle of #AI pixie dust from Google Labs? 🧙‍♂️

For our #eID work with @cdengler and Clement Humbert we created a reading list with several presentations of our sources related to #ZeroKnowledgeProofs. You can either look at it on github:

Or download it and open it with Obsidian to browse around. Of course we'd be very happy if you create a PR with your preferred paper on ZKPs!

#AgeVerification using #ZeroKnowledgeProofs

this is how its done

Zero-knowledge age verification enables platforms to confirm age eligibility without collecting personal data. Learn about Beldex's research in this direction. https://hackernoon.com/why-digital-identity-systems-need-zero-knowledge-age-verification #zeroknowledgeproofs

"Privacy commissioners find TikTok collected sensitive data from Canadian children" https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tiktok-privacy-commissioners-1.7640974

My thoughts on this quote: "Youth may be less aware of privacy risks, and susceptible to the techniques used to capture their attention, induce them to disclose certain information or adopt certain purchasing behaviours"

Ugh. I wish it were just youth... I think the more accurate statement is this:
The majority of people of all ages are not aware of privacy risks and are susceptible to techniques used to capture their attention.

Privacy‑Preserving Age Verification Falls Apart On Contact With Reality

Vitalik Buterin suggests that Ethereum
will be ready for the on slot of quantum computing suggesting a quantum machine could break blockchain cryptography between 2030 and 2035. The Ethereum Foundation is working to integrate zkEVM ( Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) within layer 1, within twelve months.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs are now open source, because letting everyone see your invisible tech is obviously the best way to keep it secret. 🔐🤫 Meanwhile, #Google wants to know how often you use their AI tools, because apparently they haven't been tracking your every swipe and click already. 📈👀

Researchers, including Jens Ernstberger and Sebastian Steinhorst, developed a method to cryptographically prove location without revealing it, using #ZeroKnowledgeProofs with standardized floating-point numbers: http://go.tum.de/784017

Ah yes, the riveting tale of solving #Sudoku with zero-knowledge proofs while speedrunning Mario—because why not combine obscure math with video game nostalgia? 🎮✨ Just what the internet needed: a blog post that’s as clear as a zero-knowledge proof itself—utterly unintelligible. 🤯

> We present LatticeFold+, a very different lattice-based folding protocol that improves on LatticeFold in every respect: the prover is five to ten times faster, the verification circuit is simpler, and the folding proofs are shorter

Ever heard of #ZeroKnowledgeProofs?

Zero-knowledge proofs are a kind of #cryptography used to provide proof of a secret, such as a private key or the solution to a problem, without sharing it with interested parties.

Recursive SNARKs go post-quantum:
“we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK.”

LatticeFold supports low-degree relations (R1CS) as well as high-degree relations (CCS) and is considered as performant as Hypernova but with post-quantum security.
