Google Privacy Upgrades: Enhanced Wallet Service Incorporates Zero-Knowledge Proof Technology

Google is bolstering its Wallet service with privacy-enhancing improvements. The company is integrating zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology, a secure method for age verification, into its platform. This innovative solution will be used in specific contexts like Google’s own applications and collaborations with partners such as Bumble. These applications will leverage Google Wallet’s digital ID for user identity verification while employing ZKP for enhanced age confirmation. Furthermore, Google plans to share its ZKP technology with other wallets and online services, furthering the adoption of privacy-focused solutions across various platforms.
