| - | : //Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:id|identifier]] that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:dm]], abstract [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:entity|entity]], etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies. These new identifiers are designed to enable the controller of a DID to prove control over it and to be implemented independently of any centralized registry, identity provider, or certificate authority. DIDs are URLs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. Each DID document can express cryptographic material, verification methods, or service endpoints, which provide a set of mechanisms enabling a DID controller to prove control of the DID. Service endpoints enable trusted interactions associated with the DID subject. A DID document might contain [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:semantics|semantics]] about the subject that it identifies. A DID document might contain the DID subject itself (e.g. a data model).// | + | : //Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:id|identifier]] that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity.
