lemmyknow@lemmy.todayOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?1·2 days agoDepends on how you implement it, innit? If the gob. gives you an official certicate confirming something, for instance, which you then save onto your machine and then upload to the website or service. What could the gob. do? Attach a string on the file to pull it back? Unless a file can call home somehow (assume a non-executable file, with info only). They could change how it works later on, and make it work in their favour maliciously, but they’d have to make quite the big change. Plus people might not have as big of a need later, maybe. Assuming it’s a once-and-done thing.
Somewhat unrelated but… can anyone define “rich”? How much money before one is deemed rich? Where is the line drawn between rich and non-rich?
lemmyknow@lemmy.todayOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?01·4 days agoWebsite: 18+? Gob.: Yep ???
The ideia is neither party is aware of the other’s info. The website wouldn’t have your data, and the gob. wouldn’t know what the information is for.
Website knows, e.g. is the user 18+?, which the user agrees to share, but not anything else
Gob. knows, e.g. you wanted to confirm being 18+ (better if it just didn’t know at all), but knows not what use you’ll make for that
One side asks a yes or no question, the other gets a question (no source), answers it, the answer makes it back to the first side with no further info.
Unless they can know exactly who you are because you proved to be 18+ or something. Granted, if it were your names, for say a social media profile, that’d be different
lemmyknow@lemmy.todayOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?0·4 days agoI didn’t say “log in to porn via gob.”
I was rather proposing a way to privately and securely confirm age without either party (gob. and adult site) knowing each other’s info (i.e. porn site doesn’t get your info, gob. site doesn’t know you’re seeking adult content)
And it isn’t an idea limited to pornography-related websites, but rather any website that wishes to confirm any information about the user, without directly getting the user’s info
It’d be essentially a temporary certificate of sorts that proves a requirement, such as “18+”
