OLP Protocol - Privacy-Preserving Location Verification

Protocol Overview

A revolutionary approach to location verification using advanced cryptography

1. Zero-Knowledge Location Proof

Generate cryptographic proof of location without revealing exact coordinates using Bulletproofs and Pedersen commitments.

LocationProof = ZKP(location, radius)

2. Witness Verification

Decentralized network validates proof through BLS signature aggregation and threshold signatures.

Verification = Threshold(WitnessSignatures)

3. Non-Repudiable Certificate

Generate tamper-proof certificate using Merkle trees and aggregate signatures.

Certificate = MerkleProof(AggregateSignature)

Quick Start

Full Documentation

// Install the package
npm install @olp/client

// Initialize client
const olp = require('@olp/client');
const client = new olp.Client({
    witnessCount: 3,
    privacyLevel: 'high'
});

// Generate location proof
const proof = await client.generateProof({
    location: coordinates,
    radius: 100  // meters
});

// Verify proof
const isValid = await olp.verify(proof);
