## Description

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
