Congrats to editors @manusporny, @rhiaro, @peacekeeper and @drummondreed for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0": w3.org/TR/2022/REC-di… #timetoadopt!!
DIDs are a new type of identifier that do not require a centralized registry. It empowers everyone on the Web to generate their own identifiers and take control of their own #identity and relationships while also providing greater #security and #privacy
Coupled with #w3c Verifiable Credentials, DIDs are being used across a number of markets (such as governments, retailers, etc.) where #identification and #data authenticity is a concern. Read the numerous testimonials from W3C members and the industry: w3.org/2022/07/pressr…
DIDs are #URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject
DIDs and DID documents can be adapted to any modern blockchain, distributed ledger, or other decentralized network capable of resolving a unique key into a unique value. Check the DID method registry for a list of known DID method specifications: w3c.github.io/did-spec-regis…
