EU Age Control: The trojan horse for digital IDs
Summary
The article critiques the EU age verification reference app as a trojan horse for digital IDs, arguing that the DSA fallback to normal KYC, device attestation dependencies on Google/Apple, and the mismatch between marketed zero-knowledge proofs and the actual cryptography undermine privacy and security. It also warns that relay attacks and national-level deployments, not a single EU app, will shape implementation.
