Articles and links about decentralized identifiers and soverign identity

• Decentralized identifier
• Like regular unique identifiers (address, email, username, social media, etc) but digital and decentralized.
• Not issued and controlled by external entities. Self-soverign.
• globally unique
• resolvable with high availability
• cryptographically verifiable
• persistent without continued operation of any org.
• Immune to issues of centralized and centrally stored identifiers (fraudulent replication, identity theft, revokation, outages)
• Use Cases: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-use-cases/

• self-owned credentials : “Login with Google” must become “Login with my own, revokable, identity”
• data and keys stored in wallet and share only what is needed with service providers
• Possibly use zk-proofs to do KYC without sharing any information
• Reliance on blockchain and cryptographic proofs to keep PI data only within wallet
