Age verification has been one of the methods used to ensure that children are protected from possible harms in the traditional world – traditional ID verification at shop checkouts offers a good example. However, its effectiveness in the digital world has been debated for quite some time. The question of how, and by which technical means age verification should be conducted has not been resolved yet. As technology advances, there is now  hope that product designers will be able to develop a privacy-preserving, flexible and tailored-made technical solution that could be adopted in the EU to protect children online, which is fundamentally the essence of the euCONSENT project.
