# πŸ” ETH.id - Zero-Knowledge Document Verification CLI

A high-performance Rust CLI that uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs and LLMs to answer yes/no questions about documents **without ever exposing the original document content**.

**The document never leaves your machine.**

## 🎯 What It Does

ETH.id answers yes/no questions about your documents using a combination of:
- **Zero-Knowledge Proofs** for deterministic claims (age, amounts, dates)
- **LLMs** for semantic understanding (signatures, clauses, context)

**Example Questions:**
- "Is this person over 18 years old?" β†’ `true`
- "Does the CPF match 123.456.789-00?" β†’ `true`
- "Was this document issued in the last 90 days?" β†’ `false`
- "Is the income above R$ 5,000?" β†’ `true`
- "Is this document signed by both parties?" β†’ `true`

## ✨ Key Features

- **πŸ”’ Privacy-First**: Document never leaves your machine
- **🧠 Smart Filtering**: Only minimal, claim-relevant data is processed
- **πŸ” Zero-Knowledge**: Mathematical proofs for deterministic claims
- **πŸ€– LLM Support**: Claude, OpenAI, or Ollama (offline)
- **πŸ“ Audit Trail**: Complete history with hashes only
- **πŸ“œ Attestations**: Cryptographic proof bundles
- **πŸš€ Fast**: Rust performance with async processing
- **πŸ”§ CLI-First**: Simple, powerful command-line interface

## πŸš€ Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Rust 1.70+ (install from [rustup.rs]https://rustup.rs)
- OpenAI API key

### Installation

```bash
# Clone or navigate to the project
cd ethid

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Add your OpenAI API key to .env
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here" > .env

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Run the server
cargo run --release
```

The server will start on `http://localhost:3000`

## πŸ“‘ API Usage

### Single Verification

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/v1/verify`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "document_base64": "base64_encoded_document",
  "document_mime_type": "application/pdf",
  "questions": [
    "Is this person over 18 years old?",
    "Does the CPF match 123.456.789-00?",
    "Is this a valid government ID?"
  ]
}
```

**Response**:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "session_id": "uuid-v4",
    "answers": [
      {
        "question": "Is this person over 18 years old?",
        "answer": true,
        "confidence": 0.95,
        "reasoning": "Birth date shows person was born in 1990"
      }
    ],
    "document_hash": "sha256_hash",
    "timestamp": "2026-02-24T15:30:00Z",

  }
}
```

### Batch Verification

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/v1/verify/batch`

**Request**:
```json
{
  "verifications": [
    {
      "document_base64": "...",
      "document_mime_type": "application/pdf",
      "questions": ["Question 1", "Question 2"]
    },
    {
      "document_base64": "...",

      "questions": ["Question 3"]
    }
  ]
}
```

## πŸ”’ Security Features

### Zero-Knowledge Architecture

1. **No Persistent Storage**: Documents are processed entirely in-memory
2. **Automatic Cleanup**: Secure memory wiping after processing
3. **Hash-Only Logging**: Only SHA-256 hashes are logged, never content
4. **Encryption**: All sensitive data encrypted with AES-256-GCM
5. **Session Isolation**: Each request gets a unique session ID

### Privacy Guarantees

- βœ… Documents never written to disk
- βœ… No database storage of document content
- βœ… LLM receives document content but only returns boolean answers
- βœ… Audit logs contain only hashes and metadata
- βœ… Automatic memory cleanup on drop

## πŸ§ͺ Example Use Cases

### Age Verification
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/verify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "document_base64": "...",
    "document_mime_type": "application/pdf",
    "questions": ["Is this person over 18 years old?"]
  }'
```

### CPF Validation
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/verify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "document_base64": "...",
    "document_mime_type": "image/jpeg",
    "questions": ["Does the CPF match 123.456.789-00?"]
  }'
```

### Document Authenticity
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/verify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "document_base64": "...",
    "document_mime_type": "application/pdf",
    "questions": [
      "Is this a valid government-issued ID?",
      "Does the document contain a photo?",
      "Is the document expired?"
    ]
  }'
```
