Dear littlecranky67, as overseer for your digital wallet, I am happy to inform you that the owner of the discord server kinkydwarfporn doesn't know who you are and your privacy is protected.

Signed your friendly EU official.

As long as someone in the chain is able to physically connect the dots it is game over for privacy.

Your comment assumes there is an "overseer". There is not. Guys, read the technical documents. It is all standardized and open-source. I can code my own wallet.

>Тhe EUDI Wallet notifies the user of a pending request to prove their age, including: the name and identity of the requesting party.

>She consents to share the requested info and her wallet uses verifiable credentials issued by a trusted authority (e.g., national civil registry) to generate a cryptographic proof that she meets the age requirement.

I am fairly sure that here is enough info to be deanonimized by the authorities issuing the EUDI and the wallet app developers.


You first quote reads: "You, the end user, get a notification that a party (probably the porn website you visited) wants to request your age and you, the USER, get the identity of the website (not vice versa).

As for the second quote: Yes sure, you credentials need to be signed by a trusted authority, someone has to establish you are an adult. But it is a cryptographic signature. Same as https certificate needs to be signed by a third party vs. self-signed certificates.


And the ID app developer logs that the porn site has requested my ID. So there is no privacy from the government. Which is much more important privacy.
