This talk will dive into Self Protocol, a new production ready identity protocol that let's users privately prove their humanity without a counter party. Self piggybacks on the cryptography in Biometric Passports and EU ID cards, enabling individuals to prove that they have a valid ID document in zero knowledge. Self additionally lets users prove statements about themselves in zk such as proving their age, first name, birthdate, citizenship, or that they are not on the OFAC list, all without revealing any other information about themselves.
Marek is the co-founder of Self Protocol and Celo, and CEO at cLabs. Earlier, he co-founded Locu, a machine learning venture-backed company that was acquired by GoDaddy. He is an MIT PhD alumni and a former Facebook Fellow and has previously worked at Google, Microsoft Research, and Sun Labs.
