THE AUTHENTICATION CLIFF
THE HOLDING
Generating a plausible identity → free.
Verifying an identity → impossible.
When fakery is cheap and verification is expensive, you've inverted the entire basis of institutional trust.
THE CLIFF
The 2028 election will be the first where every piece of contested evidence can be challenged as synthetic.
Courts will face a choice:
- →Accept evidence they can't authenticate
- →Reject evidence they can't disprove
THE DEFAULT
When institutions can't verify, they demand transparency. Total transparency. Permanent transparency.
Not because anyone wants a panopticon. Because "log everything and sort it out later" is the administratively easiest response to a fraud crisis.
THE ALTERNATIVE
What if you could prove what needs proving without revealing everything?
The cryptography exists. Zero-knowledge proofs. Verifiable credentials. The legal infrastructure doesn't.
That's what I built.
