🛡 Microsoft Research Unveils Vega to Protect Digital Identity

The system uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) for the secure verification of document data on mobile devices. Thanks to the Nova and NeutronNova schemes, verifying data—such as a driver's license—takes only about 92 ms.

🌍 Vega addresses the security challenges of digital identity, allowing AI agents and services to verify user data without becoming "honeypots" for personal data theft.

👤 In the future, you won't have to upload a scan of your passport to every website to verify your age—your phone will send a cryptographic confirmation itself, keeping your data secret.
