"The app uses zero-knowledge proof cryptography, allowing users to mathematically demonstrate their age without revealing personal information. Users upload a passport or ID card, generating a verifiable age credential."
"This solution is fully open source and compatible with both mobile and desktop devices, built on the same architecture as the EU's COVID digital certificate, showcasing the bloc's capability for cross-border digital credential infrastructure."
"The age verification app addresses a long-standing challenge of verifying online user ages without compromising privacy, entering a pilot phase with member states to test its effectiveness."
The European Commission has developed an open-source age verification app that utilizes zero-knowledge proof technology to confirm users' ages while protecting their personal data. This app allows users to upload identification documents, generating a verifiable age credential without revealing the document itself. It is designed to be compatible with mobile and desktop devices and aligns with the European Digital Identity Wallets. The app is now entering a pilot phase with member states, aiming for full deployment by the end of 2026.
