"zk-SNARK is a form of cryptography that proves possession of certain information without revealing that information, and without any interaction between the prover and verifier."

It looks like the libraries available are still fairly early stage, but the excitement around it should make them move fairly fast

Open question - how can this be integrated into a universal-use protocol that may include participants that do not use zkSNARK - 
can we use it with different levels of uncertainty from different external providers who might identify people in looser ways?
