It explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Given many sites and services require age verification, we wanted to develop a system that not only verifies age, but does it in a way that protects your privacy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic tools that allow one party to confirm a fact to another without revealing the underlying data.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, ZKPs are already used in blockchain ecosystems such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cardano-deploys-first-zero-knowledge-smart-contract-expanding-blockchain-capabilities\/\">Cardano<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> to enable private transactions, identity verification, and scalable solutions. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/vitalik-buterin\/\">Vitalik Buterin<\/a>, Ethereum's co-founder, has also <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/vitalik-says-making-zk-proofs-understandable-is-necessary-for-ethereum\/\">highlighted<\/a> their potential in areas like tamper-proof voting, supply chain tracking, and data security.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Google's adoption of ZKPs has received praise from the crypto community, many of whom see it as validation for a technology long championed in the blockchain space.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Viglione, co-founder of Horizen Labs, told <em>CryptoSlate<\/em> that Google's move is &#8220;a clear signal that privacy-driven innovations are becoming mainstream and that zero-knowledge will become one of crypto's most transformative use cases [that benefits] everyday users.<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s exciting to see leading companies recognize that privacy shouldn\u2019t be a luxury or an afterthought; it should be a default.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has added Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology to its Google Wallet platform to strengthen user privacy in digital identity systems.
