Privacy Pass is a browser extension and protocol designed to lessen the need for users to repeatedly solve CAPTCHAs, thereby improving online privacy. It permits users to obtain cryptographic tokens by solving a CAPTCHA once, which can then be exchanged for access to other websites without additional verification. This system leverages anonymous credentials to confirm humanity without disclosing identity. It enhances user experience while maintaining a degree of anonymity.
Context
Privacy Pass addresses a common internet irritation while offering a practical approach to online privacy by reducing repetitive CAPTCHA challenges. Discussions often center on its efficacy in mitigating bot activity without jeopardizing user anonymity or introducing new avenues for misuse. Future developments will likely involve expanding its integration with more web services and potentially adapting its underlying cryptographic mechanisms to broader decentralized identity solutions.
This research presents practical non-interactive blind signature constructions using standard PKI keys, enabling widespread anonymous digital token issuance without revealing user data.
