Either that or I&#39;m doing an awful job of explaining this 😞 <br/><br/>Are you familiar with how SSL certs work and their role in making HTTPS web connections secure?

Let&#39;s assume my bank is allowed to issue digital age certs (they already know who I am). I store that cert in my phone wallet. When a website issues an age challenge, ZKP on my phone pulls the cert from my wallet, computes a proof and sends it. They validate using the bank public cert and I&#39;m in. The bank has no visibility of how/when it&#39;s used, nor the government, and the website doesn&#39;t have to inform them either. 2026-07-03T23:48:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstmj9dk0lvkgg4dva0nuuklz68hjjg9q0dpe8x2n5w3p7pxpj8edszypjxwtvq8yn8c07m23806q5wwh566j88gs9ufkvc7hxet97gg88xkcmgv4t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8xesz5qukn69sv8fgvlc5rsp6r790jezw9lsd0alxptvv7t8tkgqpdvumh'>nevent1q…vumh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, I&#39;d rather walk away in most cases than risk handing over personal data when I&#39;ve no control over how it&#39;s used afterwards.<br/><br/>But that&#39;s why ZKP is such a good tool.
