Decoding ZKAPs

In March, we gave two talks on ZKAPs — zero knowledge access passes.

What are ZKAPs? The use of ZKAPs helps the maintain privacy-preserving payments. This anonymous, token-based authorization protocol based on Privacy Pass helps facilitate an online exchange of value while disconnecting the payment and service data that is gathered on customers.

We created ZKAPs to better address the access-control issue in Tahoe-LAFS for the development of PrivateStorage, however we see many possibilities for the use of ZKAPs to help protect user privacy in other services that need to accept online payments.

Virtual water cooler time: Even though we're already a remote-first team, with all the sudden changes in the world we found ourselves wanting to connect, share, assess, analyze and discuss events. So, we came up with scheduling an "Open Chat" across various time zones, where team members can jump in, say hi and partake in some non-work related banter. What are some things your team is doing to stay connected?
