CredVault: A Credential Management System based on Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Abstract

As digital identities become increasingly valuable and vulnerable, the protection of personal credentials has become a critical concern. This paper introduces a fresh perspective on credential management, focusing on enhancing privacy and security. We propose a user-centric approach that revolves around the idea of creating a safe space for digital credentials within decentralized wallets. By leveraging existing social login mechanisms and establishing secure tokenized containers for credentials, users can securely store and manage their digital identity. Our framework aims to empower individuals by providing them with control over their credentials while minimizing the risk of exposure to third parties. This paper outlines the core concepts and objectives of our approach, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the way we manage and protect our digital identities.
