Regulators say: verify age. GDPR says: minimize data. Your users say: don't track me. Today, these goals conflict. Every platform that verifies identity must store personal data — creating breach targets, compliance costs, and user friction. Zero-Knowledge Identity resolves this conflict by design.
of EU young people use the internet daily — most platforms must now verify age
in GDPR fines since 2018 — data you don't store can't be breached or fined
personal data on your servers with ZK proofs — compliant by architecture
The user controls exactly which attributes are shared. Your platform asks a question — it gets a yes/no answer, cryptographically proven. No names, no birthdates, no passport numbers.
You receive proof, not data. No passport copies, no biometric templates, no PII. GDPR data minimization isn't a policy — it's the architecture. What you don't store can't be breached.
The proof is cryptographic and auditable. In a regulatory review, you can demonstrate that every user was verified — without ever having accessed their personal data.
The user sees exactly what is being asked and confirms each disclosure. No silent background checks. Full transparency — the user is in control of their own data.
Built on top of IdentiGate's verified identity. Any user who verified their passport can use zero-knowledge proofs — regardless of nationality.
Ask a question via API, receive a cryptographic proof. Same REST API as all other IdentiGate products. No ZKP expertise needed on your side.
The user has already created their IdentiGate identity (one-time, 90 seconds). Now your platform needs to verify an attribute — without seeing any personal data.
Your platform sends an API request: "Is this user over 18?" or "Is this user in an EU jurisdiction?" or any attribute query. You define what you need — nothing more.
The user's IdentiGate app shows exactly what is being asked: "Online Casino X wants to verify: Are you 18 or older?" The user reviews and confirms with PIN. Full transparency.
IdentiGate generates a zero-knowledge proof from the user's verified identity data. The proof confirms the answer — without revealing the underlying data. No birthdate, no name, no passport number is ever transmitted.
Your platform receives a cryptographic proof: "User is 18+ — verified." This proof is auditable, tamper-evident, and machine-verifiable. Your platform never touched any personal data.
Your platform defines the questions. The user approves each disclosure. IdentiGate proves the answer. You never see, process, or store any personal data.
Gaming regulators demand age verification. GDPR demands data minimization. Your players demand privacy. With ZK proofs, your casino verifies every player is 18+ (or 21+) without storing a single passport, name, or birthdate.
No personal data means: no data breach liability, no GDPR compliance overhead for stored PII, and no expensive data protection infrastructure. You're compliant with gambling regulations AND privacy law — simultaneously.
The EU Digital Services Act requires platforms to protect minors. The European Commission's age verification blueprint (2025) explicitly recommends privacy-preserving solutions with selective disclosure.
IdentiGate's ZK proofs are exactly what the EU envisions: a "mini wallet" that proves age without revealing identity. Platforms can verify age for alcohol, tobacco, adult content, social media sign-up — without becoming custodians of millions of passport copies.
Verify age for online purchases without storing IDs. Same ZK proof, different threshold (18, 21, varies by jurisdiction).
Prove identity verification without sharing the identity. Perfect for low-risk onboarding tiers where full KYC is overkill.
Age-gate sign-up (13+ or 16+ per country) without collecting children's data. DSA compliant from day one.
Most ZKP solutions are standalone tools — they generate proofs, but the identity behind the proof comes from somewhere else (a national eID, a document upload, a facial scan). That means the ZKP layer is only as strong as the identity layer beneath it.
IdentiGate's zero-knowledge proofs are backed by passport-anchored, NFC-verified, split-key-secured identities. The same identity that creates court-ready AdES signatures also generates ZK proofs. It's not "someone claims to be 18" — it's "a passport-verified individual is cryptographically proven to be 18."
And it works for 179 countries — not just the EU27 where EUDI Wallets will operate.
Define your verification questions. Call our API. Receive cryptographic proof. No ZKP expertise needed. Same API as all other IdentiGate products.
No personal data = no GDPR data processing overhead, no DPO complexity for this data, no breach notification risk, no data retention policies needed.
Start with ZK for onboarding, upgrade to full identity verification when needed (e.g., when a user wants to withdraw funds). Same user, same identity, same platform.
