My talk will be based on my article: https://dcbuilder.mirror.xyz/myIlus8pl6SbyuUR4ufGf9OYRps8hCGqeZHNYce3i94 Copy-paste of the TL;DR section there: - **The current digital identity status quo sucks (who would have thought)** - **New cryptographic primitives like ZK, FHE, MPC, and TEEs have opened new doors** **There has been an explosion in the mechanism design space thanks to building blocks like:** - ZK Email - zkLogin - TLS Notary - World ID (Proof of Personhood) - Sybil-resistant web of trust systems - Rate Limiting Nullifiers (RLN) - Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) - Attestation protocols - ZK KYC - ZK Co-processors - Storage proofs - Proof Aggregators - Proof Marketplaces - Oracles - Intents - Prediction Markets - ZKML ### **The digital identity pipeline of the new age** - Data and data provenance proofs - Attestations and provable off-chain compute - Proof Aggregators and proof marketplaces - Intent-driven interactions - Provable inference - Standardization is going to be a challenge - The future of digital identity has never been more exciting
