There is a new protocol, IdentityLayer, introduced by Billions Network that is taking a radical step in changing the way digital identity is verified. The system was developed in such a way that it provides the privacy and does not exceed the trust without any sensitive data being required like government IDs since it uses the latest cryptography and real-time validation.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs at the Core of Identity Verification
IdentityLayer relies on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)- a cryptography system that enables one side to prove their identity without exposing personal information. First mentioned in peer-reviewed literature in the 1980s, this design has become a current-day privacy shield of blockchain-based and decentralized systems. The protocol allows users to authenticate some statements (e.g., I am a verified user, I am of the appropriate age) without revealing my hidden information. The strategy is specifically useful in developing markets where the percentage of mobile users is much higher in comparison with the number of desktop users. Fintech, e-commerce, and social networking are among the industries that can gain a lot of this lightweight and privacy-focused verification model.
