FAQ
You may want to ask about zkMe network.
What makes zkMe different from other credential networks?
zkMe is different from other credential networks in several ways:
It is a decentralized protocol that leverages zero-knowledge proofs and other advanced technologies to ensure user privacy and security.
It enables selective disclosure of credentials, which means that users can choose which credentials they share with authorized parties.
It offers a customizable verification process that allows businesses to tailor their verification requirements to their specific needs.
It provides insights into user demographics without compromising user privacy.
How does zkMe ensure privacy and security in identity issuance and verification?
zkMe ensures privacy and security in digital interactions through several mechanisms:
It leverages zero-knowledge proofs to enable selective disclosure of credentials, which means that users can share their credentials with authorized parties without disclosing any personal information.
It uses an open source cryptographic component that includes zero-knowledge proofs and threshold encryption, which enables secure and anonymous credential operations such as issuance, amendment, verification, and certification.
It utilizes MPC (multi-party computation) nodes to ensure the security of the network, which enables secure and decentralized computation of sensitive data.
It provides a secure and efficient way for Web3 protocols to perform user identity verification through smart contracts.
What are the potential use cases for zkMe?
zkMe has several potential use cases, including:
Anti-bot and anti-sybil
Permissioned DeFi/zkKYC
Identity oracle
How does zkMe compare to traditional KYC solutions?
