TLS - communication standard for the web

zkTLS - trustless web’s communication standard?

zkTLS is hardly useful as it lacks the context for its contents. Saying "these texts are from that website" proves nothing.

The video you posted says nothing about the context problem I mentioned.

Say there is a website that shows people's home address. It could be my own address or it could be other people's address. zkTLS can only prove that certain contents are displayed on the website, but without context it is useless. Sure address abc is shown in website xyz.com, but how do you know if it is my address or other people's address? You may argue that the URL can indicate something, but it is never a stable source of context. The company that runs the website normally gives zero assurance about the URL and the contents that is contained in that URL.

A much better and concrete way to get some useful data from a website, is for the website owner to generate an attestation using the website's key (e.g. EAS has schema as data context). That way you know the data is attested and trustworthy.
