Microsoft Research·medium signal

Microsoft Research releases Vega, a system that turns full digital credentials into single zero-knowledge proofs, sharing only what's needed with performance viable for real applications. As AI-generated content and deepfakes proliferate, Vega addresses the growing need for provable digital identity without exposing unnecessary personal data. The system is designed for practical deployment, not just academic demonstration.
