The European Parliament, with 418 votes in favor and 103 against, with 24 abstentions, adopted a bill on a digital identity system.
The implementation of the initiative involves the use of zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) to protect the privacy of EU citizens - the technology will verify the location without revealing additional details
With the use of ZKP, the system can verify a citizen’s location without revealing any additional information, which can help to protect against privacy violations and data breaches. It will be interesting to see how the implementation of this digital identity system unfolds in the EU and how it will be received by EU citizens.
