Zero-knowledge Credentials as a Way to Minimize Data Leaks

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Identification, authentication, and authorization processes can be conducted in various ways. Particular attention is given to the processes implemented within the self-sovereign identity paradigm. This paper analyses the processes from a data leak perspective. A comparison is made between self-sovereign identity and a centralized identity provider scheme. An overview of the relevant implementations for these processes is provided: in both the self-sovereign and non-sovereign paradigms. It has been found that, from the data leaks perspective, the self-sovereign identity scheme could only provide superior security if zero-knowledge proof technology is applied.
