Recording from my talk: Without Permission, With Programmable Cryptography 🔐 Programmable Cryptography: Reclaim Your Data - ZKPs, MPC, FHE let us use our data in novel ways - Most online data is cryptographically signed (HTTPS, DKIM) - We can make this data portable and use it how we want 🛠️ Tools in Action: - Zupass: Crypto-native identity - OpenPassport: Prove passport validity privately - Anon Aadhaar: Verify Aadhaar ID without revealing info - ZK Email: Use signed emails for various proofs - ZKP2P: Trust-minimized fiat on-ramps, and much more - TLSNotary: Prove any web data without intermediaries 🚀 Impact: - Privacy-preserving anti-sybil resistance - Selective disclosure of personal info - Trust-minimized financial systems - Portable, provable online interactions 💡 Conclusion: Programmable cryptography empowers us to reclaim and leverage our data from web2 silos, w/o permission Thanks to Juraj Bednar for the (bootleg) recording and ParalelnaPolis for hosting! Great to finally attend HCPP, one of the OG cypherpunk conferences I've wanted to join for years.
