Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0
Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

High Assurance DIDs with DNS
This document outlines a method for improving the authenticity, discoverability, and portability of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) by utilizing the current DNS infrastructure and its technologies. This method offers a straightforward procedure for a verifier to cryptographically cross-validate a DID using data stored in the DNS, separate from the DID document.

A library for ATProtocol identities.
When Marko talks about a front door metaphor for operating system GUIs, i think of the DID/AT identity as a doorway out of the walled garden, into a cybernetic forest.

This talk was given at Copenhagen Design week. It’s called Patterns of Human Interaction. I encourage you to watch it. It is as relevant to the design of shared internet account UX patterns as it is to mobile device design. vimeo.com/28758945
