Master Thesis Project | ECDSA Zero-Knowledge Credentials in Yivi’s EUDI Wallet

Master Thesis project proposal 

“Designing and implementing an ECDSA-based Zero-Knowledge Credential Architecture for Yivi as EUDI Wallet” 

Context and motivation 

Background 

Yivi is a privacy-preserving digital identity platform that has successfully launched production deployments using IRMA/Idemix protocols based on zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) schemes. With the introduction of the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet regulation (eIDAS 2.0), Yivi aims to evolve into a compliant EUDI wallet while maintaining its strong privacy guarantees and crypto-agile architecture. 

The EUDI ecosystem increasingly standardises on: 

• Verifiable Credentials (e.g. W3C VC, SD-JWT-VC, ISO 18013-5 mDL/MDOC) 

• Presentation and issuance protocols such as OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP 

• Selective disclosure and zero-knowledge techniques, analysed in detai...
