According to TechFlow, the Worldcoin project announced that it is building an unprecedented trusted and inclusive network that allows users to anonymously prove their unique identity online. Worldcoin emphasizes four key privacy principles:

  1. Security: Cryptography techniques such as secure multi-party computation (SMPC) and zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) are used to mathematically protect user data security.

  2. Anonymity: Encryption technology is used to ensure that the user's identity is not associated with the iris code, ensuring the anonymity of World ID use.

  3. Transparency: Build projects in a public environment through open source core components, third-party audits, etc.

  4. Choice and Control: Employ user-centered design, minimize the personal information required, and implement a personal custody approach.
