euCONSENT 2.0: Empowering Parental Consent with Decentralized Technology

euCONSENT 2.0：通过去中心化技术赋予家长同意权

In a pivotal presentation, Iain Corby, Executive Director of the Age Verification Providers' Association (AVPA), unveiled the roadmap for the second phase of the euCONSENT program and introduced the AgeAware App. Financed with a €1.4 million grant from the European Commission and supported by the United Nations through UNICEF's Safe Online initiative, euCONSENT 2.0 seeks to revolutionize age assurance practices.

在一次关键演讲中，年龄验证提供商协会 (AVPA) 执行董事 Iain Corby 公布了 euCONSENT 计划第二阶段的路线图，并介绍了 AgeAware 应用程序。 euCONSENT 2.0 得到了欧盟委员会 140 万欧元拨款的资助，并通过联合国儿童基金会的安全在线计划得到了联合国的支持，旨在彻底改变年龄保障做法。

Corby emphasized a fundamental shift away from publisher-based age assurance towards a decentralized, app-based approach. The first phase of euCONSENT utilized a device-based token system for age verification. However, the new system employs a more sophisticated metaphor of a chocolate wrapped in foil. The raw ingredient is the user's age, which they must prove when accessing age-restricted websites via the AgeAware app. This "thin application" serves as a technology-neutral client compatible with various software and hardware options.

Corby 强调从基于出版商的年龄保证转向去中心化、基于应用程序的方法的根本转变。 euCONSENT 的第一阶段利用基于设备的令牌系统进行年龄验证。然而，新系统采用了更复杂的比喻，即用箔纸包裹的巧克力。原始成分是用户的年龄，他们在通过 AgeAware 应用程序访问有年龄限制的网站时必须证明这一点。这种“瘦应用程序”充当技术中立的客户端，与各种软件和硬件选项兼容。

Upon age verification through biometrics, facial age estimation, or other traditional means processed through a provider, AgeAware issues a token, representing the foil-wrapped chocolate. The token encloses the ingredients (personal information), while the external public product, confirmed by AgeAware, establishes that the contents meet the age verification threshold.

通过生物识别、面部年龄估计或提供商处理的其他传统方式进行年龄验证后，AgeAware 会发行一个代币，代表箔纸包装的巧克力。令牌包含成分（个人信息），而经 AgeAware 确认的外部公共产品则确定内容符合年龄验证阈值。

As users accumulate tokens from different websites using various age verification providers, AgeAware interrogates them, selecting the most optimal token for the relying party in question. The content provider may have specific pricing preferences or accept the published price of the verification provider, accessible to anyone seeking to use the token. A default price mechanism is in place for parties without an established verification agreement.

当用户使用不同的年龄验证提供商从不同的网站积累令牌时，AgeAware 会询问他们，为相关依赖方选择最佳的令牌。内容提供商可能具有特定的定价偏好或接受验证提供商公布的价格，任何寻求使用令牌的人都可以访问。对于没有既定验证协议的各方，有默认的价格机制。

"This means that the relying party need only find a token, even in the absence of prior knowledge or a contract with the age verification provider," explained Corby. "They can seamlessly utilize the token to verify the user's age, which is provided anonymously through a dedicated service." The tokens have a finite lifespan.

“这意味着依赖方只需要找到一个代币，即使在事先不知情或与年龄验证提供商签订合同的情况下也是如此，”科比解释道。 “他们可以无缝地利用令牌来验证用户的年龄，这是通过专门的服务匿名提供的。”代币的寿命是有限的。

A tallying service overseen by euCONSENT monitors the reuse of age verification provider tokens and reports to an orchestration scheme to charge and distribute fees accordingly. This eliminates the burden on relying parties to report their own numbers.

由 euCONSENT 监督的统计服务监控年龄验证提供商代币的重用，并向编排方案报告以相应地收取和分配费用。这消除了依赖方报告自己的数字的负担。

Corby identified areas of improvement in phase one, particularly concerning parental consent and linking parent and child identities. Phase two priorities thus address this "unfinished business," including advancements in zero-knowledge proof, enhanced untrackability, compatibility expansion to apps, and exploration of integration with the EU digital wallet. The plan also involves refining underlying ethical principles, deepening the involvement of international standards organizations, and updating certifications.

科比确定了第一阶段需要改进的领域，特别是在父母同意和父母与儿童身份联系方面。因此，第二阶段的优先事项解决了这一“未完成的任务”，包括零知识证明的进步、增强的不可追踪性、应用程序的兼容性扩展以及探索与欧盟数字钱包的集成。该计划还涉及完善基本道德原则、加深国际标准组织的参与以及更新认证。

Despite its European regulatory origins, euCONSENT envisions a global impact. Its governance is entrusted to euCONSENT ASBL, an NGO with members from industry, academia, and the legal profession.

尽管 euCONSENT 的监管起源于欧洲，但它预计会产生全球影响。其治理委托给 euCONSENT ASBL，这是一个由来自工业界、学术界和法律界的成员组成的非政府组织。

Ver.iD Demonstrates Parental Consent through Decentralized Digital IDs

Ver.iD 通过去中心化数字 ID 表达家长同意

Showcasing the potential of digital credential wallets, Roger Olivieira, Co-Founder of Amsterdam-based Ver.iD, explained how the Dutch government issues verifiable personal information retrievable through apps like the one provided by Ver.iD. The government is piloting a decentralized digital ID system that would enable digital verification of relationships, such as that between a child and their guardian. This would empower guardians with a "parental dashboard" to provide consent by confirming the age of minors ("wards") attempting to log into age-restricted apps or accounts (e.g., video games, social media).

阿姆斯特丹 Ver.iD 联合创始人 Roger Oliviira 展示了数字凭证钱包的潜力，解释了荷兰政府如何发布可通过 Ver.iD 提供的应用程序检索的可验证个人信息。政府正在试行一种去中心化的数字身份系统，该系统可以对关系进行数字验证，例如儿童与其监护人之间的关系。这将为监护人提供“家长仪表板”，通过确认尝试登录有年龄限制的应用程序或帐户（例如视频游戏、社交媒体）的未成年人（“受监护人”）的年龄来提供同意。

EU Age Assurance Report Highlights Need for Regulatory Guidance

欧盟年龄保障报告强调需要监管指导

Martin Sas from the KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law presented an upcoming report on the trustworthiness of age assurance systems for the EU Parliament. The report aims to map the legal requirements for age assurance under European law, identify potential risks to fundamental rights, and evaluate the risks of specific methods.

鲁汶大学 IT 和知识产权法中心的 Martin Sas 向欧盟议会提交了一份即将发布的关于年龄保障系统可信度的报告。该报告旨在绘制欧洲法律下年龄保证的法律要求，识别基本权利的潜在风险，并评估具体方法的风险。

The report emphasizes the imperative to consider necessity, proportionality, and the best interests of the child when implementing age assurance measures. It promotes the delicate balance between child protection and digital rights. Regarding biometric age assurance methods, age estimation is deemed less reliable than age verification, but verification is perceived as "more intrusive."

报告强调，在实施年龄保障措施时必须考虑必要性、相称性和儿童的最大利益。它促进儿童保护和数字权利之间的微妙平衡。关于生物特征年龄保证方法，年龄估计被认为不如年龄验证可靠，但验证被认为“更具侵入性”。

The report expresses concerns about privacy and security risks, potential discrimination, and exclusion of individuals with limited access to ID documents, technology, or developmental disabilities. It thus underscores the urgent need for regulatory harmonization, increased pressure for conformance testing, and adaptation to the burgeoning use of age assurance systems.

该报告对隐私和安全风险、潜在歧视以及对身份证件、技术或发育障碍的个人的排斥表示担忧。因此，它强调了监管协调、增加一致性测试压力以及适应年龄保证系统的迅速使用的迫切需要。

Open Identity Exchange Outlines Universal ID Vision

开放身份交换概述了通用 ID 愿景

Nick Mothershaw, Chief Identity Strategist for the Open Identity Exchange (OIX), presented the organization's perspective on the symbiotic relationship between digital identity and age assurance. OIX's aspiration for a "simple, universally trusted ID" hinges on educating relying parties about the benefits and intricacies of biometrics and digital identity through initiatives such as events, consultations, and resource dissemination.

开放身份交换 (OIX) 首席身份策略师 Nick Mothershaw 介绍了该组织对数字身份与年龄保证之间共生关系的看法。 OIX 对“简单、普遍可信的 ID”的渴望取决于通过活动、咨询和资源传播等举措，让依赖方了解生物识别技术和数字身份的好处和复杂性。

Mothershaw emphasized the significance of trust frameworks and trustmarks in ensuring that the security equation is addressed from both sides. OIX has meticulously analyzed trust frameworks worldwide, including the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), eIDAS 2.0, the NIST version 4 draft, and the DIACC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework.

马瑟肖强调了信任框架和信任标记在确保双方解决安全问题方面的重要性。 OIX 仔细分析了全球信任框架，包括英国数字身份和属性信任框架 (DIATF)、eIDAS 2.0、NIST 第 4 版草案和 DIACC 泛加拿大信任框架。
