Data breaches and centralized control have fractured digital trust. This book bridges that gap by exploring self-sovereign identity (SSI), decentralized identifiers (DIDs), and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) as approaches to digital identity, privacy, and trust.
Beginning with the evolution of digital identity systems, the book establishes SSI principles, trust models, and decentralized identity before moving into DID methods, verifiable credentials, verifiable presentations, and DID authentication. It then builds the foundations of ZKPs through cryptographic foundations and proof systems, progressing to zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs, circuit development using Circom and snarkjs, and advanced techniques such as recursive proof composition, lookup arguments, folding schemes, and ZK-rollups. The book then brings DIDs and ZKPs together through privacy-preserving credentials, selective disclosure, predicate proofs, and practical protocols.
By the end of this book, you will be fully equipped to architect, code, and deploy production-grade, privacy-preserving identity solutions, transforming how your organization manages trust, user privacy, and compliance.
What you will learn
● Architect self-sovereign identity systems using W3C DID standards.
● Design and optimize ZK circuits using Circom and snarkjs.
● Implement selective disclosure and predicate validation protocols.
● Deploy robust cryptography including Pedersen commitments and Merkle trees.
● Build anonymous KYC and voting application workflows.
● Scale decentralized identity frameworks securely.
● Protect AI models with zero-knowledge proofs.
Who this book is for
This book is for blockchain engineers, security architects, privacy engineers, and full-stack developers looking to build next-generation identity solutions. It is ideal for software professionals aiming to master cryptographic proofs and decentralized trust networks.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
