A parent or child links existing accounts—like a school login, health record, or student email—to prove age without loss of privacy. This shifts responsibility from business platforms back to the individual, removing risks tied to storing private data, enforcing biometrics and evolving legal compliance requirements.
Evolves with local laws – validation adapts to context without changing identity structure.
No central authority – individuals grant and revoke access; platforms don’t hold power.
Risk shifted to rightful owner – verification becomes self-managed, not externally enforced.
No data collection – nothing stored, nothing to breach.
One identity, many properties – visible consistency replaces static credentials.
Privacy maximised but assurance and user trust limited unless embedded properly. Highly secure architecture, but lack of identifiers may hinder acceptance. Good fit for anonymity-critical applications like adult content access.
