From silos to synergy: bridging cryptography

Challenges: The main obstacles for privacy protocols are interoperability, lack of standards, and developer accessibility.

ZK-Groups - Roadmap

The names of the milestones are the names of Saturn's first 7 largest moons, from smallest to largest. Milestone 1: Mimas v0.x.0 (Aug 31) The goal of the first milestone is to have a functioning first infrastructure with minimal functionality. Admins should manage their permissioned groups with a simple dashboard and the backend service should provide read-only APIs to generate Merkle proofs or to get group information (e.g. name, size, members). There will be only two components initially: dashboard and API service. Github Milestone: https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/zk-groups/milestone/1 1. Single sign-on Admins should sign-in with Twitter, Reddit or Github (SSO). A session remains active so that they can log-in automatically next times.

ZK-Groups vs Interep

Target audience Specific target audience In both cases, the main goal is to provide APIs for developers to enable them to integrate anonymity sets and build privacy-based applications. Specifically, the main target audience for both projects are therefore developers. However, in both cases the target audience changes depending on the components. As we'll see in the Infrastructure section, there's a main component that is the back-end with the APIs (which already includes all the features), and optional add-ons that extend the back-end, abstract the APIs and actually have different targets: end-users or generically project teams. General target audience Broadly speaking, Interep was designed as an anti-Sibyl system based on Semaphore reputation groups. The main audience are web3 enthusiasts who intend to use and export web2 reputation to blockchain. The goal of ZK-Groups is even more ambitious, the idea being to offer a more generic infrastructure to allow people to create their own groups, adaptable to many more use cases. The audience can also be governments, international institutions, non-profit organization and associations. Infrastructure and technologies

Semaphore FAQs

What is a Semaphore ID? Semaphore ID is the identity you need to interact with the Semaphore protocol. They are made up of two secret values: Trapdoor and Nullifier, and one public value: Commitment, which is the hash of the secret values. Although Semaphore identities do not use asymmetric cryptography, the secret values are like a private Ethereum key, while the commitment is like an Ethereum address. Semaphore IDs are needed to represent users within groups and to allow them to create anonymous proofs. How am I anonymous? Semaphore uses zero-knowledge technologies which allow you to prove that a statement is true without revealing any information apart from the fact that the statement is indeed true.
