This talk is about what it takes to bring privacy-preserving verification into real-world products. Rather than focusing on cryptographic details, I want to share what changes when privacy goals meet actual implementation constraints: product requirements, usability, existing infrastructure, institutional expectations, and policy context.
Using OpenAC (https://github.com/privacy-ethereum/zkID/blob/main/paper/zkID.pdf) as the lens, I will talk about how anonymous verification can be shaped into something deployable for everyday scenarios without asking services to collect unnecessary personal data.
I work on privacy-preserving identity and anonymous credential implementations, with a focus on bridging research and real-world use cases. My recent work includes exploring deployments related to age and eligibility verification, government wallet integration, and practical product constraints for privacy-preserving systems.
