This is a technical introduction to Rarimo’s ZKPs for biometric passports. It covers how passports are securely scanned, verified, and used to generate ZK Proofs-of-Citizenship.

Freedom Tool is a Rarimo-built open-source software for citizen-run, anonymized elections and polls. It has solved the long-standing technical challenge of enabling digital identity checks while also protecting citizens from tracking. Anyone, anywhere, can use it to build voting systems outside of state apparatus. This will provide safe outlets for silenced people to express dissent and is part of a broader effort to embed privacy into the digital world.

The Rarimo community built Freedom Tool with the dream of using blockchain and privacy tech to help people in regimes vote without the fear of being traced. That dream is now becoming a reality. Russian opposition have used Freedom Tool to launch Russia2024, an app that allows dissenting citizens to sign petitions, vote in polls, and participate in protest elections without being traced.
