Okay I can imagine it being similar to a yubikey, albeit one with a totally new protocol along the lines of what you described. But it occurs to me that people wanting to share their age credentials with friends or strangers wouldn't actually need to give up the keys to anyone. People could run rate-limited age verifier relay services using their legit keypairs without having to compromise their ownership of those keys, similar to the way some people are willing to run bittorrent clients today.
If we assume that anyone who puts in a little effort being able to bypass this elaborate system is not a problem because it's only meant to deter people who can't be bothered, I guess it only remains to design the Tor-like service over which this will run and make it resistant to traffic analysis.
Anyway, thank you for being patient with my questions.
