Our latest Linux Foundation Europe donation will build a more private digital world.
We're donating our open-source Longfellow Zero-Knowledge Proof library to the Linux Foundation.
In a move to advance a more private digital landscape, the Linux Foundation Europe has made a donation of its open-source Longfellow Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) library to the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance. This alliance falls under the Linux Foundation Europe's umbrella. The ZKP library, which was released open-source last year, enables users to prove certain facts about themselves, such as verifying one's age to a website, without divulging any additional personal data.
By entrusting this cryptographic library to the Linux Foundation Europe, the aim is to ensure a vendor-neutral, open stewardship. This approach will allow the global community to trust, audit, and widely adopt it as a quantum-safe standard for digital identity applications. The Linux Foundation Europe will continue to develop and support this library in the open, collaborating with experts worldwide.
The successful scaling of these solutions necessitates robust collaboration between public and private sectors. By adhering to open standards, the goal is to facilitate secure use of digital credentials for trusted interactions both in person and online. This collective effort aims to construct a global, interoperable infrastructure that functions seamlessly across all devices, browsers, and wallets. The ultimate objective is to ensure no one is left behind in this digital transformation.
