Age verifications are becoming more common, and often even mandatory to use large websites.
A lot of websites seem to demand ID to verify their users age. I do not support this and will not give a website my ID for various reasons.
However, I stumbled across a German YouTube video about how ZKP's can be used to verify a person's age without revealing any other information.
I have no idea how ZKP's actually work. But does this make any sense and could they actually be a solution for this particular problem?
There is a lot of discourse about the whole age verification topic lately. But I have never seen someone else discuss this approach. Most of it is malding. As I see it, enforced age verification is inconvenient and brings more harm than good. But it is not going to go anywhere, and we might as well try to find the best solution for a bad problem.
The video: I have no idea if translated subtitles make any sense whatsoever.
