zkPass is a zkTLS oracle protocol that utilizes Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to enable users to verify private web data without disclosing sensitive information. This technology addresses the need for secure authentication and data integrity in both Web2 and Web3 environments, preventing identity theft and data tampering.

Problem
Web2 and Web3 users lack a secure method to verify private web data without exposing sensitive information, leading to vulnerabilities such as identity theft and data tampering. Current authentication methods often require users to upload documents or disclose personal details, compromising their privacy.
Solution
zkPass is a protocol that leverages Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to enable privacy-preserving data verification. The protocol uses a 3-party Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake process enhanced with decentralized MPC nodes, allowing users to securely log in and generate ZKPs locally without API access or direct data source authorization. This approach ensures data integrity and authenticity while preventing scams and tampering. Users can then upload the ZKP on-chain as a soul-zkSBT or share it with a specified address, providing enhanced privacy options. zkPass's TransGate product incorporates the MPC network, interactive zero-knowledge proof system, and 3P-TLS protocol to facilitate the secure transfer of private data between Web2 and Web3 environments.
Target Audience
zkPass targets Web2 and Web3 users seeking secure and private data verification, as well as developers building applications that require privacy-preserving authentication and data integrity.
Features
