Privacy Preserving Identity

Definition

Privacy Preserving Identity refers to systems and protocols that allow individuals to verify aspects of their identity without revealing unnecessary personal information. In digital asset environments, this often involves cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs, enabling users to prove qualifications without disclosing the underlying data. This capability is essential for regulatory compliance, such as Know Your Customer requirements, while maintaining user anonymity. It offers a balance between verification needs and individual data protection.
