Why Governments & Platforms Should Choose Pave

Data Minimization
Platforms store zero sensitive identification data, drastically reducing hacker honeypots and relieving privacy concerns.
Authoritative Basis
Leverages existing official state identity records rather than faulty commercial AI face scanning or dubious third-party databases.
Zero Tracking
Pave architecture prevents government systems from recording which websites or digital services their citizens are attempting to access.
The Evolution of Government Identity
Throughout history, governments have always provided methods to prove identity—from Bronze diplomas of Roman military veterans to modern state driver's licenses.
Roman Diplomas
Official physical proof created by state authority to verify citizenship and rights across the empire without complex databases.
Physical Cashier Glance
A cashier quickly glance at an ID card to verify age. The transaction was never recorded, creating de facto anonymous age verification.

How Pave Reimagines Age Verification
Solving the internet age verification dilemma by decoupling official identity databases from website browsing habits.
- • Requires upload of sensitive drivers licenses, passport scans, or biometric facial scans.
- • Creates huge centralized honeypots of user data targeted by international hackers.
- • Allows third-party vendors or state databases to log every website a user visits.
- • Forces compliance-conscious websites to withdraw entirely from major markets.
- • Government maintains existing official age databases safely isolated from platforms.
- • Platform requests only a simple query: "Is this citizen over age X?"
- • Government provides a random code with age information without receiving the destination website domain.
- • Zero logs are kept by Pave or and web service providers receive no data other than age inforation.

Age-Restricted Site
