World Open-Sources ProveKit to Verify Identity Without Exposing Documents
- —ProveKit accepts e-passport chip data, passkeys, anonymous credentials and rules written in Noir
- —Proofs are under 1MB and can be verified on a server, phone or blockchain
- —Proving takes 2–3 seconds on an iPhone SE 3 and under 30 seconds on a Moto E15
- —The system needs no trusted setup, targets 128-bit post-quantum security and was audited by Least Authority
Why it matters: The technology lets services confirm age, nationality or uniqueness without collecting passport data, cutting the risk of identity leaks.
