Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) protocol
Overview
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a W3C standard for globally unique identifiers that can be created and managed without a central authority. They enable self-sovereign digital identity by allowing the subject to control the identifier and its associated cryptographic keys. DIDs are commonly used in conjunction with Verifiable Credentials to establish trust in decentralized systems.
