The W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) specification outlines a framework for creating, using, and managing decentralized identifiers, which are designed to allow control without reliance on a central identity provider. DIDs function as URIs that uniquely identify subjects such as people, organizations, or digital resources, and are associated with DID documents containing verification methods and services. DID Core is technology-neutral, meaning it does not depend on specific technologies like blockchains, and the specification emphasizes separating identifier control from identity verification. Verification methods within DID documents serve specific purposes, such as authentication or capability invocation, and must be explicitly authorized. The specification also details how DID URLs can be used to access resources or verification methods, and highlights the importance of secure resolution and dereferencing processes. Privacy and security considerations are critical, with recommendations against publishing personal data in public documents and ensuring that services and verification processes are properly authenticated and validated. The specification distinguishes between the DID itself, which is a mere identifier, and Verifiable Credentials, which are machine-verifiable claims that may use DIDs but are not synonymous with them.
