  • Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.

    Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.

    The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.

    I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.

    I was planning to package that and release it as open source.

    Still might do that.






  • It security engineer here: zero knowledge proofs are exactly that. Proof your age isg higher than X, but not even how much higher. They can’t even profile you based on that information as they can’t recognize you across visits.

    Some government identity cards already support that. For everybody else there are companies that offer that service.

    BTW I’m against age verification. We had access to porn at a certain age, I want my children to be able to look when that gets interesting to them. But then again I’m pretty progressive and open with sexuality in general and I take time out of my day to actually talk to my kids about dangers on the internet.
