# Selective Disclosure

Selective disclosure in Velocity Network allows individuals to share specific credentials without revealing the entire set of information. This means individuals can choose to disclose only the relevant parts of their educational or skills credentials to potential employers or other organizations, ensuring their privacy is protected. By controlling what information is shared, individuals can prevent unnecessary or sensitive details from being exposed, thus enhancing data security and personal privacy while still verifying their qualifications and skills accurately.

The protocol is on a clear path to implement zero knowledge proofs (ZKP). ZKP allow individuals to cryptographically prove to a relying party that they possess a qualification without revealing the actual underlying information on the credential that they possess.
