"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."
[business level description of zkSNARK](https://medium.com/@SamRadOfficial/why-zk-snarks-are-crucial-for-blockchain-data-privacy-e02f4bc1d352)

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?
