Anonymous ID Verification System ("AnonID"): A Privacy-Preserving Alternative to Online ID Checks

This whitepaper introduces AnonID, a privacy-preserving system for online age and identity verification. The service issues users a random anonymous identifier after a one-time verification, eliminating the need for repeated ID uploads on participating websites. Sites receive only a simple compliance result (e.g., “18+ verified”) without accessing or storing personal data. This approach reduces liability for platforms, improves user trust, and balances regulatory compliance with true anonymity.
