Privacy and Compliance through the Citadel Protocol
The Citadel protocol represents a milestone in digital identity management and regulatory compliance (KYC/AML). Unlike traditional methods that require users to share sensitive documents, Citadel uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to verify user eligibility without revealing underlying personal information. This "sovereign identity" approach enables financial institutions to comply with anti-money laundering laws while protecting customer privacy. For businesses, this drastically reduces data liability risks and the operational costs of manual verification. By integrating privacy by design, Dusk allows regulated entities to participate in an open ecosystem with the same confidentiality found in traditional private banking, fostering massive and secure adoption.
