DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) Specification

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a new way to manage digital identities without relying on central authorities like government agencies or big tech companies. They are unique, cryptographically secure identifiers stored on a blockchain or distributed ledger, allowing you to control your personal information directly. DIDs enable secure, user-controlled digital identity verification, giving you more privacy and ownership over your data. This system supports trusted interactions online, from logging into services to sharing credentials, all while reducing reliance on centralized databases and improving security and user control.
