【Humanity Protocol】Creating DID with palm authentication / Realizing "Proof of Humanity" utilizing zero-knowledge proofs / @Humanityprot

This is a competitive project of Worldcoin, which advocates the "Human Layer for web3".

Good morning.
I am Mitsui, a web3 researcher.

Today, I did some research on the "Humanity Protocol".

✋Overview｜What is Humanity Protocol?

The "Humanity Protocol" is a protocol that allows for the establishment of a Digital Identity (DID) on the digital platform by authenticating the user's palm. It's a concept similar to Worldcoin, which uses iris recognition, but the "Humanity Protocol" authenticates with the user's "palm".

The reasons for choosing the "palm" are as follows: Unlike faces or fingerprints, complexity and privacy are uniquely integrated, and it is difficult to duplicate or capture without consent, making it an ideal, unobtrusive method of authentication.
