We already have e-passports and zero knowledge proofs to show you have one without revealing who you are.
If all else fails, there is always the web of trust (i think web of trust has a lot of issues, but establishing soneone is human seems like a much lower bar than establishing identity)
- UltraSane 2y agoI hadn't though of zero-knowledge proofs. That is an interesting idea.
- bawolff 2y agoThe blockchain people have been experimenting with it https://ethresear.ch/t/zero-knowledge-proofs-of-identity-using-electronic-passports/19263 https://ethresear.ch/t/zero-knowledge-proofs-of-identity-usi... (im no fan of blockchain but i assume you can reuse the ideas without the blockchain part)
