Reclaim Protocol creates digital signatures, known as zero knowledge proof, of users' identity and reputation on any website. These digital signatures are computed completely on the client side. Meaning, it is private and secure. When the user shares this proof with your app, you can be certain that its authenticity and integrity haven't been compromised.
Reclaim Protocol makes HTTPS verifiable. At a high level, the HTTPS request and response is routed through a network of HTTPS Proxies. These proxies provide their digital signatures to the responses sent by the websites. The user's device then generates a cryptographic proof using the encrypted response and the digital signature. This proof is that of the data that was present in the response like their bank balance or Uber rides count.
