As part of this revolutionary step, zkPass has introduced TransGate, a gateway that allows users to choose and discreetly validate their data from any HTTPS website.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data verification and scalability the zkPass way<\/h2>\n<p>In July, zkPass released its Pre-alpha Testnet, which attracted much attention, attracting\u00a0over 200,000 sign-ups\u00a0for the waiting list.\u00a0 According to zkPass, there are currently over 100K zk proofs, each of which represents the private data, identity, or ownership of one of the thousands\u00a0of\u00a0whitelisted users.<\/p>\n<p>The zkPass Pre-alpha Testnet represents a significant turningpoint for private data verification, built\u00a0on top of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Multi-Party Computation, and Three-Party Transport Layer Security. This includes many different kinds of information, such as one\u2019s legal identification, financial records, health records, social interactions, employment records, educational records, and certifications in a particular field. Those using zkPass, won\u2019t have to provide or upload any private information in order to pass these checks.<\/p>\n<p>zkPass uses MPC, ZKP, and other cryptographic technologies to verify a user\u2019s HTTPS-based web session. This means that it\u2019s no longer necessary to\u00a0file uploads or disclose\u00a0private information.<\/p>\n<p>Composable decentralised identity passes, DeFi financing protocols based on off-chain credit, privacy-ensured healthcare data marketplaces, dating applications including verified zkSBTs, etc. can all benefit from incorporating zkPass. Basically, zkPass is a great tool anywhere security and privacy are concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The company is inviting users\u00a0to provide feedback and play an active role in developing this innovative technology.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use cases<\/h2>\n<p>zkPass streamlines the usage of any HTTPS-based website as a trustworthy data source for the provenance of zero-knowledge metadata without the need to authorise any APIs by revamping the TLS protocol to Three-party TLS.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Testnet and why participate in\u00a0it?<\/h2>\n<p>The input of users is crucial to the development of a better solution. Technology enthusiasts, privacy activists, and anyone who places a high value on secure data practices may want\u00a0to participate in the Pre-alpha Testnet now that it is available to the public. The goal of this invitation is to work together with zkPass to influence the future of data privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Users who join the Pre-alpha Testnet have the unique opportunity to provide feedback on a potentially revolutionary\u00a0solution at an early stage in its development. In an increasingly data-centric society, this collaborative effort is crucial in shaping zkPass into a privacy-focused system that gives users agency.<\/p>\n<p>It is quite easy to participate\u00a0in the zkPass Pre-alpha Testnet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get the TransGate add-on for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/zkpass-transgate\/afkoofjocpbclhnldmmaphappihehpma?utm_source=ext_sidebar&amp;hl\">Google Chrome<\/a> by visiting the store\u2019s official website.<\/li>\n<li>To participate in the Pre-alpha Testnet and witness the benefits of private data validation firsthand, interested users can sign up at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/pre.zkpass.org\/\">pre.zkpass.org.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pre-alpha Testnet for zkPass, the privacy-protecting protocol for private data verification, is now open to testing by the public.
