I'm looking for studies that either say that Digital ID/Age verification can be done in a truly private manner or not.

I have read a bunch of stuff, there is a lot of noise about this subject.

I want to be able to submit something to politicians as to how this system is going to be a huge target; and the dangers around it. But I also want to be able to know if is technically possible to do it properly.

Short answer: no. Cory Doctorow has a helpful breakdown of Steve Bellovin’s paper “Privacy-Preserving Age Verification—and Its Limitations” that explains why (the relevant section of which is titled Insurmountable Obstacles).
