Definition ∞ A DID Document is a digital file that contains information associated with a Decentralized Identifier, a new type of globally unique identifier. This document typically stores public keys, authentication mechanisms, service endpoints, and other data relevant to establishing trust and enabling interactions with the DID subject. It is designed to be cryptographically verifiable and resolvable through decentralized networks, granting individuals and entities control over their digital identities. The DID Document provides the necessary data to verify and interact with a DID.
Context ∞ DID Documents are central to the development of self-sovereign identity solutions within Web3, offering a privacy-preserving and user-controlled alternative to traditional identity systems. Discussions often focus on the standardization of DID methods and document structures to ensure interoperability across different blockchain platforms and identity networks. Future advancements will aim to simplify the creation and management of DID Documents, accelerating their adoption for verifiable credentials and secure digital interactions.
