Built on learnings from experimental projects like Zupass, Provable Object Data (POD) is a new format with open-source libraries for any app to issue verifiable data, and make ZK proofs of claims about that data. PODs allow arbitrary key/value data to be signed and distributed. Flexible proofs about PODs can be created using a highly-configurable family of General Purpose Circuits (GPCs), without app-specific circuits or trusted setup. This talk will focus on POD and GPC motivation and design.
Andrew is a software engineer who likes building systems and libraries which are reliable, fast, and secure, with a bias toward privacy and personal control. His decades of experience include 7 years working on Dropbox's distributed filesystem, mobile app frameworks, and APIs. He was recently nerdsniped by ZK Cryptography, and joined 0xPARC to design and build the software behind Zupass and PODs.
