i'm only half joking. adding zkps to http requests is probably the correct privacy preserving technical solution that could be built into something sensible.
the bigger issue is that lawmakers are thinking in terms of smartphones, tablets and commercial pcs as shrink wrapped media consumption devices with a setup step... not protocol level support that preserves parts of computing and the internet they don't even really know exists. seems like the ietf should have lobbyists or something.
- gzread 7mo agoZKPs don't buy anything, since an online service can sell them by the thousand and you're just trusting the client that it belongs to the actual user. You might as well just do "User-Age-Category: 18plus" then and save a headache.
- a-dub 7mo ago> then if i want i can jump through some hoops and pay some money or something to get a digital id that lets me attach a zkp
- gzread 7mo agoYeah, so some guy is selling his zkps by the millions for a dollar each. Since they're zkps you can't find out who it was, and the system is pointless.
- a-dub 7mo agono. you can pay verisign or google or the government of estonia or whatever for a digital id and they can issue you a zkp that is signed by them that attests whatever without giving up your identity.
