Excited to share my latest research in Privacy Preserving Authentication technology!

🌟 **Dear Scientists, Researchers, Scholars, and Enthusiasts,** 🌟

I am **thrilled** to announce the pre-print of my latest research paper, now available on the [International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) ePrint archive](https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/2066). 📚✨

>**Goal**: To authenticate accurately and securely **without revealing both virtual public identifiers** (e.g., usernames, user IDs) **and real-world identifiers** (e.g., passwords, biometrics, or other secrets).

💡 **Introducing COCO:**
A **full-consensus, zero-knowledge authentication protocol** designed with:

* 🔒 **Efficiency**
* 🕵️‍♂️ **Unlinkability**
* ⏳ **Asynchrony**
* 🌐 **Liveness**

COCO is built on **Coconut credentials**—a selective disclosure, re-randomizable credential scheme—and **Oblivious Pseudorandom Functions (OPRF)** to ensure both **privacy** and **scalability** in distributed frameworks.

🎯 This research is part of a larger project under **Statecraft Laboratories** to create a **privacy-first virtual space**.

🛠️ **Explore the Codebase:**
