Adding trustless identity verification

[nicobao]

Hi,

Love this work.

I work on Agora, a social app that relies on ZKP for login/register. (Currently not on atproto)

We rely on Rarimo protocol and specifically their RariMe app.
You scan your passport locally and then you can generate ZKP.

It should be easy to associate identity information to the did:plc in a trustless and privacy-preserving way by using these ZKP. Bi-directional proofs.
I already do it in Agora with did:key.

I'd love to send you a PR instead of reinventing the wheel.

If you're interested, could you point me to the place in the code where I can add a new identity verification? To make it work, we need to run locally a backend verificator API for all the ZKP cryptographic verification: https://github.com/rarimo/verificator-svc (it has its own pgsql DB).

I have limited time until February but since I already developed it for Agora I think it should not be too much work.

Do it!

I am currently too busy integrating Pol.is within Agora to prepare for the upcoming launch in Feb.

Rarimo integration is already implemented in Agora here:

• frontend: https://github.com/zkorum/agora/blob/main/services/agora/src/pages/onboarding/step3-passport/index.vue
• backend: https://github.com/zkorum/agora/blob/main/services/api/src/service/rarimo.ts
• external backend service to self-host: https://github.com/rarimo/verificator-svc (requires certain specific conf variable to work)

The proof is bound to a did:key == Rarimo userId.

Happy to help send the PR when I have more time. To save me some time, could you point me to the place in the code where I can add a new identity verification?
