1st implementors draft of the DID (Decentralized IDentifiers) spec is now available at #RebootingWebOfTrust github: https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/blob/master/draft-documents/DID-Spec-Implementers-Draft-01.pdf
Mon Nov 28 10:34:29 +0000 2016
DIDs (Decentralized IDentifiers) are somewhat like IP addresses — not particularly memorable, but can serve as cryptographic trust anchor.
Mon Nov 28 11:11:01 +0000 2016
Replying to @desantis and @ZeroTier
The @BlockstackOrg anchor in BTC is essentially a DID. The spec is for common approaches across different chains.
Mon Nov 28 11:16:24 +0000 2016
DIDs thus serve as a “personal root”. In other systems this could be just a time-stamped public key, but DIDs allow for rotation of keys.
Mon Nov 28 11:22:49 +0000 2016
DIDs resolve to DDOs (DID Descriptor Objects)—signed JSON containing all the metadata needed to prove ownership and control of a DID.
Mon Nov 28 11:34:45 +0000 2016
There are multiple DID methods. Each define how it is registered, resolved to a DDO, updated, rotated and revoked on specific blockchains.
Mon Nov 28 11:37:06 +0000 2016
Replying to @desantis and @BlockstackOrg
Great! We’d love to see more use cases!
Mon Nov 28 11:40:58 +0000 2016
Once you have resolved DID and have verified its DDO, the data in the DDO can in turn authenticate other self-sovereign data or services.
Mon Nov 28 11:43:43 +0000 2016
One major client for DIDs are for use in W3Cs Verifiable Claims, a JSON format also designed for self-sovereign IDs https://opencreds.github.io/vc-data-model/
