Identity check with ZKP

[radumarias]

The idea is to check user identity with a third-party identity checker. If they hold illegal documents and the government comes to us, we will redirect them to the third-party checker to get their real identity, and we will not be held responsible.

Performing identity verification using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) involves allowing one party (the prover) to prove to another party (the verifier) that they know or possess specific information without revealing the actual information itself. Here's how you can implement an identity check with ZKPs.

Constraits

• Don't keep any of the user data. We don't want to complicate things with GDPR
• Only keep some reference from the identity checker

Indentity checkers

What 3rd party provider can we use for that? LinkedIn uses Persona, but I don't know if they offer services like this.

Structure notes

• Create a dedicated crate for this that uses rencfs (the core) as a lib. You can create attractions and common minimalistic generic functionality in the core but keep the core more generic
