Enhanced Privacy and Control
The zkKYC credential is generated directly on the SwissBorg platform in the form of a zkCertificate, the zkCertificate is then downloaded and securely stored on the user's local device. From which they can upload ZKP proving their identity without compromising on their privacy. This approach ensures that users maintain complete ownership and control over their identity data. SwissBorg has no visibility into which user is connected to which wallet address, thereby significantly enhancing privacy.
Self-Custody and Sovereignty
In an era where data breaches and privacy concerns are rampant, zkKYC provides a robust solution for self-custody of identity credentials. Users can confidently prove their identity by uploading a private hash from their zkKYC credential via MetaMask Snap, ensuring their identity is verified without disclosing their actual identity details. This groundbreaking capability underscores the beginning of true sovereignty over personal identity.
