🛂 Vocdoni Passport

Privacy-preserving identity verification using zero-knowledge proofs and your government-issued ID

🔐

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Prove facts about yourself without revealing your actual data

🛡️

Privacy First

Your personal information never leaves your device

Cryptographically Verified

Proofs are mathematically verified, not trusted

🤔 What is this?

Vocdoni Passport is a revolutionary system that allows you to prove things about your identity (like your nationality, age, or that you hold a valid government ID) without revealing your actual personal information.

Using the NFC chip in your passport or national ID card, the mobile app reads your identity data locally on your phone. It then generates a zero-knowledge proof — a cryptographic proof that demonstrates certain facts are true without exposing the underlying data.

⚙️ How does it work?

The process involves several steps, all designed to protect your privacy:

📱 1. Scan your ID with NFC
🔒 2. Data stays on your device
3. Generate ZK proof locally
☁️ 4. Server verifies the proof

The server never sees your name, document number, photo, or any other personal data. It only receives a mathematical proof that your claims are valid, signed by your government's certificate authority.

🛡️ Why is it safe?

Your data never leaves your phone. The NFC chip data is read locally and processed entirely on your device. Only the zero-knowledge proof is transmitted.

Cryptographic guarantees. Zero-knowledge proofs are based on advanced cryptography (specifically, zkSNARKs). It's mathematically impossible to extract your personal data from the proof.

Government-backed verification. The proof verifies that your ID was genuinely signed by your country's certificate authority, preventing forgery.

Nullifier prevents double-signing. Each signature generates a unique nullifier that prevents the same ID from signing the same petition twice, without revealing your identity.

🔏 Privacy guarantees

When you sign a petition, the verifier learns only what you choose to disclose:

You hold a valid government ID
Selected attributes (e.g., nationality, age range)
Your name — NOT revealed
Your document number — NOT revealed
Your photo — NOT revealed
Your address — NOT revealed
