Yeah...I'm fully aware what a ZKP is..you're just missing the point.

  • Why did you write that then:

    > You then still need a trusted ID service or algorithm to capture an image of the user _at the time of use_ to compare that to.

    > Just having access to your digital ID credentials proves nothing

    • Because it's accurate?

      If I have access to your digital ID I shouldn't be able to impersonate you anymore than I should be able to fly using your passport.

      Your passport is useful not just because it's difficult to forge, but because border control is a thing.
