Who it is for
- Digital identity researchers
- Developers working with zero-knowledge proofs
- Governments and institutions exploring interoperable identity infrastructure
Documented uses
- Research privacy-preserving digital identity designs
- Explore standards-aligned identity infrastructure
- Investigate zero-knowledge approaches that limit disclosure of personal attributes
- Coordinate identity research and development across technical and institutional stakeholders
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
The project is presented through a publicly accessible GitHub repository and is described as open source under the MIT license.
- It combines standards work, research, education and infrastructure prototyping rather than documenting a single end-user identity product.
- The stated focus is interoperability and standards alignment, which matters for teams designing systems intended to work across identity environments.
- The repository identifies a separate benchmark repository for zkID benchmarks.
- The public repository is primarily associated with TeX, so readers should review the repository materials and linked project resources for the implementation details relevant to their work.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
