what's zkPassport?
zkPassport is a zero-knowledge authentication platform designed for verifying government-issued passports and national ID cards. Users scan the NFC chip in their passport to generate a zk-SNARK proof that validates the document's digital signature and selected attributes without revealing full personal information, enabling privacy-preserving identity verification. The platform supports expanding document types, including recent additions like Turkish National ID cards, and integrates into crypto ecosystems for applications such as proof-of-humanity in validator sets (e.g., Aztec Network) and secure verification on platforms like Immunefi, bridging real-world identity to on-chain use cases without data exposure.
