Summary from Sessions tagged “ID / ZK / Privacy”
- Trust stacks for high‑stakes services center on verifiable credentials, selective disclosure, and minimal data flows. Pensions, aid, and benefits cases require auditable outcomes without exposing sensitive attributes.
- Wallet and credential standards (EUDI‑aligned) are treated as portability rails. Speakers emphasize issuer registries, accreditation, and revocation transparency to prevent vendor lock‑in and enable cross‑border use.
- Ethical biometrics is framed as governance plus tech: risk‑tiered onboarding, human‑in‑the‑loop escalations, and redress mechanisms alongside cryptographic proofs and liveness checks.
- Identity intersects markets: linking registries to tokenized assets enables compliant participation while preserving privacy via ZK attestations and on‑chain policy controls.
- National‑and‑ecosystem approach: public sector anchors assurance profiles while industry and civil society provide implementation diversity to avoid monocultures.
