eth-id 0.1.0

# ETH.id - Project Summary

## Executive Overview

ETH.id is a production-ready **Zero-Knowledge Document Verification CLI** built in Rust that combines Zero-Knowledge Proofs with Large Language Models to answer yes/no questions about documents without ever exposing the original document content.

**Core Innovation**: Documents never leave the user's machine. Only minimal, claim-relevant data is processed.

## Key Features Implemented

### 1. Privacy-First Architecture

**Virtualization Mode** (Age Verification):
- Birth date extracted locally
- Age calculated locally
- Only result sent: "Age calculation result: true"
- Birth date NEVER leaves machine

**Hash Partial Mode** (CPF Verification):
- CPF masked: `123.***.***-00`
- Only first 3 and last 2 digits exposed
- Full CPF never transmitted

**Minimization Mode** (Amount Verification):
- Only relevant field extracted
- Unrelated data never sent
- Name, CPF, address remain local

### 2. Claim Engine

Natural language → Typed Rust structs:
```rust
"maior de 18 anos" → DateClaim { age_threshold: 18 }
"renda acima de 5000" → AmountClaim { threshold: 5000.0 }
"CPF bate com 123.456.789-00" → IdentityClaim { ... }
```

Supports Portuguese and English with regex patterns.

### 3. Security Guarantees

**Tested Against**:
- ✅ Prompt injection attacks
- ✅ Privacy filter bypass attempts
- ✅ SQL injection patterns
- ✅ XSS patterns
- ✅ Template injection
- ✅ Unicode edge cases
- ✅ Extremely long inputs

**Memory Safety**:
- Automatic zeroization on drop
- No buffer overflows (Rust guarantees)
- No use-after-free (borrow checker)

### 4. Attestation System

Cryptographic proof bundles:
```json
{
  "session_id": "uuid",
  "document_hash": "sha256",
  "claim": "Is this person over 18?",
  "result": { "answer": true, "confidence": 1.0 },
  "proof_type": "ZK" | "LLM",
  "bundle_hash": "sha256_of_bundle"
}
```

Tamper-evident via SHA-256 hashing.

### 5. Audit Trail

Append-only log with:
- Session IDs
- Document hashes (not content)
- Claim text
- Results and confidence
- Proof type (ZK or LLM)

Privacy-preserving: only hashes stored.

```bash
# Show config
eth config --show

# Set provider
eth config --provider ollama
```

### Zero-Knowledge

# Verify proof
eth zk --verify --proof proof.json
```

## Example Use Cases

### 1. KYC Without Document Upload
**Traditional**: Upload full passport → stored in database
**ETH.id**: Verify "over 18" → only boolean result, no document

### 2. Income Verification
**Traditional**: Submit full pay stub → HR sees all details
**ETH.id**: Verify "income > $5000" → only threshold result

### 3. Contract Validation
**Traditional**: Send full contract → recipient sees everything
**ETH.id**: Verify "signed by both parties" → only signature status

### 4. Age-Gated Services
**Traditional**: Show ID → service sees birth date, address, etc.
**ETH.id**: Verify "over 21" → only boolean, zero personal data

- ✅ Only: "Age calculation result: true"

## Zero-Knowledge Circuits

### age_check.nr
Proves age > threshold without revealing birth date.

**Inputs**:
- Private: birth_year, birth_month, birth_day
- Public: current_date, age_threshold

**Output**: 1 (meets threshold) or 0 (doesn't)

### amount_threshold.nr
Proves amount comparison without revealing exact value.

**Inputs**:
- Private: amount
- Public: threshold, check_greater

**Output**: 1 (meets condition) or 0 (doesn't)
