In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries ...

This document specifies the DID syntax, a common data model, core properties, serialized representations, DID operations, and an explanation of the process of resolving DIDs to the resources that they represent. Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new ...
