\begin{example}[Age limits]
637+
\begin{itemize}
638+
\item Bob wants to go see a film in cinema.
639+
\item Bob looks very young so Alice who works there wants to have proof
640+
of his age.
641+
642+
\pause{}

644+
\item Show physical ID, reveals name, exact date of birth, \dots

\begin{itemize}
652+
\item That's a bit overkill, right?
653+
\item What does Alice actually need to know?
654+
\item In what direction must we move to achieve that?

\pause{}
684+
685+
\item Alice can send a picture to the other person who verifies.

692+
\item The trusted person made a certificate for Bob showing that he's
693+
older than 15.
694+
\begin{itemize}
695+
\item Alice must be able to \emph{verify} the certificate.

\item Gaah, but Bob doesn't want the trusted person (his parents) to know
707+
he's at the cinema right now!
708+
\item It's a small cinema so they'll know which film he sees if they
709+
learn when he's there.

719+
there.

\item What if Bob could convince Alice
731+
\begin{itemize}
732+
\item that he has a certificate saying he's older than 15,
733+
\item and is signed by someone Alice trusts.
