The DID system doesn't use any central registrars. Connecting a key with an entity consists of the entity represented by the DID publishing the key in their DID document. That document is then published on some ledger (can be blockchain but could also be, e.g., IPFS) so that others can discover it.
- rapnie 8y agoMost of the reference I found have some relation to blockchain in it. Do you know of existing work of DID + IPFS?
- diggan 8y agoThere is bunch of discussions happening currently about how to get Identity right and how applications using IPFS can use DID for their identity management. Some links: - https://github.com/ipfs/dynamic-data-and-capabilities/issues/7 https://github.com/ipfs/dynamic-data-and-capabilities/issues... - https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/issues/6 https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/issues/6 - https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/issues/7 https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/issues/7 Also, browse around in the repositories and their open issues.
- rapnie 8y agoThx. These are great.
- satanik 8y agoI would like to also add https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/pull/15 https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/peer-star/pull/15 to the list of links. If anyone is really into decentralized identities and authentication, please give it a read. Feedback would be appreciated!
