@w3c invites implementations of "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.1". DIDs enable verifiable digital #identity without relying on central authorities. #timetoimplement
▶️ https://www.w3.org/TR/did-1.1/

A DID is a simple text string consisting of three parts: 1) the 'did' URI scheme identifier, 2) the identifier for the DID method and 3) the DID method-specific identifier.

Feedback welcome: https://github.com/w3c/did/issues

@w3cdevs @w3c Why should I want a digital Identity ? Are you pushing this for age verification?

@mayuraviva @w3cdevs @w3c Think more identifier like a magnet link for a torrent.

So you would have something like did:magnet:<some magnet link>.

So it's more like a schema for namespacing distributed identifiers.
