Website: Privacy & Scaling Explorations

Overview​

This track aims to foster innovation and collaboration among developers, researchers, and industry experts to advance the use of programable cryptography in digital identity solutions.

Objectives​

  1. Innovate with ZKPs, MPC, FHE: Develop creative applications using programable cryptography to enhance privacy, security, and interoperability in SSI systems.
  2. Collaborate and Learn: Engage with zkp experts to learn about best practices, existing tools, and solutions.

Hack Ideas & Challenges​

  1. Solidity verifier for BBS+.
  2. Build a GPC builder + visualizer.
  3. MPC for recovery (privacy-preserving social recovery system).
  4. MPC for credentials that need to be issued by multiple parties.
  5. Decentralized PKI infra.

Link to a list of identity projects in PSE that could be valuable additions to your hackathon projects. These projects primarily offer SDKs for developers to integrate privacy-preserving user authentication or port verifiable data into their apps.
