It's a bit strange that you don't respond to my main complaint, namely making up statements for an academic publication, but now keep reiterating that you really implemented some homomorphic encryption scheme in Python. It's a very cute scheme, but it has little to do with the supposed "new Dutch digital passport solution ready for global adoption". I brought it up in the context of the only shred of evidence (but apparently no so) that such a solution exists. The paper itself also literally states that the "implementation of the Zero-Knowledge Proofs will remain outside of the scope of this paper". I'm indeed a bit frustrated with the overblown claims being made, but I don't think that's particularly unhealthy in this case. I've given ample motivation, to which you can choose to respond substantively.

  > student projects along with the IPv8 library, and never about that supposed deployment. This release of IPv8 now has had 6000 downloads, through Tribler. Prior version 7.0 was 110000 downloads. This is real deployed software. > making up statements for an academic publication You are correct that the attestation part is not broadly used, it's only on the Google playstore as "Trustchain". No legal validity, we're aiming to get that with our notary partners. Nowhere in the world is there legal government-based recognition of a true self-sovereign identity for border travel. Talking to upper management of three responsible ministries (internal,safety,defense) is painstaking slow. We made a mistake and believed early on that municipalities could be quick plus helpful; however, they seem to also have little legal maneuvering space for legal innovation.
