So what does this solve that a 128bit random value doesn't?
I assume it is signed by decentralized trusted verifier who swears that this rando is older than 21, so you can sell them drugs.

Apparently it also has bLoCkcHaIns.
Nope, no blockchains _in_ DIDs. But do give reading the specification (draft) a try yourself to verify.
Not in DID, no, but can refer to DLT which is defined as:
> distributed ledger (DLT) A non-centralized system for recording events. These systems establish sufficient confidence for participants to rely upon the data recorded by others to make operational decisions. They typically use distributed databases where different nodes use a consensus protocol to confirm the ordering of cryptographically signed transactions. The linking of digitally signed transactions over time often makes the history of the ledger effectively immutable.

If FB or some other big actor were to define identity standards, the standards would at least be friendly towards their operations, if not optimized for it. Risks would include, privacy concerns, from obvious to not yet identified; the standards not being good at things other interested parties may like; mechanisms that encourage/require normal users to delegate some functions to private third parties; mechanisms tha…
The basis for identity is that the receiving party has to make a decision based on some sort of trust relationship. Everything really winds up being direct, indirect, or brokered, eg. : - direct: you have a pre-existing account on a website. - indirect: you have an account with a Company, and I let that company's employees sign in with SAML etc - brokered: certificate authorities issuing certs based on domain/email/e…

#54Generally speaking, In the model of VCs et al espoused by TrustOverIP... the user's "Did" is never publically exposed.
The only DID that goes into some sort of Trust Registry is the DID of a PUBLIC ISSUER. (eg. GLIEF, Good Health Pass Coalition", etc._
For the user's did, it is primarily exchanged off chain, in a unique pairwise manner. So the user has a different DID for each relationship, and that DID is not publically disclosed anywhere.
Check out the Good Health Pass Interoperability Blueprint for one such Governance Framework which will publish by end of month. https://wiki.trustoverip.org/download/attachments/76241/GHPC...

It sounds like you understand enough about DID's to start incorporating them into an actual product. You'll have a bunch of users, and you want to give each of your users a DID. Congratulations! I certainly wasn't able to get that level of understanding from the document. In Section 1.1, it says the DID "did:example:123456789abcdefghijk" resolves to a DID document. Would you then be running some software with all you…
Great questions, csense. It is preferable that users bring their own DIDs, rather than you assigning them DIDs as a service provider, to ensure user autonomy. However, you can create DIDs via websites as you are suggesting, using did:web [1]. DIDs are structured or namespaced by DID Methods: the part after "did:" is called the DID Method name, and each Method has its own specification and implementations. There is a…

#56This spec is awesome for us. Much of the cannabis space in USA depends on these government systems that require a central authority (read: government software) to generate IDs and lot-identifiers for items in the system (or they charge $0.40 for single-use RFID tags). And those systems are buggy, offline, broken, errors, etc, etc, etc. So, this distributed ID system would permit us to take the central generator OUT o…
If I recall correctly there is related work getting some traction in Canada too, which is on the whole further up the curve on some of this stuff due to federal legalization.
Especially in British Columbia. The government is way forward in implementing "TrustOverIP.org" type DID/VC/ETC systems for interacting with the government

#57Why has this come back up again, this month? DiD’s are not very useful right now, and self sovereign identity has not even figured out data backups.

You're both sorta correct; cannibis in Canada is covered by Health Canada who's still taking reports via CSV upload. It's like a 4k column thing. And no IDs

It's going to be a mix of federal, provincial, maybe even municipal government systems (e.g. business licenses for cannabis retail). I imagine they'll have a hybrid of new-, old-, and low-tech like many other areas. Somehow people will muddle through.
