Summary

Documents the evaluation and selection of the Dock Network crypto library for implementing anonymous credentials in the eid-privacy WP2 project. Covers the library's key features: BBS+ and BBS signatures, Schnorr proofs-of-knowledge, Bulletproofs++, LegoGroth16, Coconut credentials, verifiable encryption, and VB dynamic accumulators. Also notes Noir DSL as a complementary circuit-based approach. The crypto-wasm wrapper enables browser/WASM deployment.
