W3C DIDs, or Decentralized Identifiers, are a new type of globally unique identifier designed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for verifiable digital identity. These identifiers are cryptographically secured and self-owned, meaning they are not dependent on a centralized registry or authority. They enable individuals and entities to control their own digital identity information.
Context
W3C DIDs hold significant promise for transforming digital identity management, offering enhanced privacy and user control over personal data. Their decentralized nature aligns well with blockchain technology, enabling verifiable credentials and self-sovereign identity solutions. The ongoing development and adoption of DIDs are crucial for building a more secure and private digital interaction layer.
This protocol formally integrates decentralized identity, post-quantum cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs to enforce agent policy without compromising internal state privacy.
