- Google has open sourced its Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) libraries to promote privacy in age assurance and digital ID solutions.
- ZKP allows individuals to prove certain facts (e.g., being over 18) without sharing additional personal data, enhancing privacy.
- The open sourcing aims to benefit web users, businesses, developers, and researchers by facilitating privacy-focused applications.
- This initiative supports the EU's eIDAS Regulation, encouraging integration of ZKP into the European Digital Identity Wallet by 2026.
- The ZKP codebase is available on GitHub for public exploration and use.
