Today on the show we talk with the co-founders and co-organizers of the Internet Identity Workshop: Doc Searls, Phil Windley, and Kaliya Young, about DIDs and DID methods from IIW 36, the Internet Identity Workshop in Mountain View, CA, held at the Computer History Museum. Episode IIW 36 was recorded live during a session at...

did:web takes advantage of existing World Wide Web infrastructure for DIDs. Instead of relying on a distributed ledger or embedding key material in the DID itself, did:web uses websites to resolve DID documents, giving anyone who controls a web page the ability to host DID documents. We talk with the editors of did:web about this...

did:orb is a ledger-agnostic did method that enables a “fediverse” of federated verifiable data registries by combining Sidetree with Certificate Transparency. In this episode, we talk with Troy Ronda, editor of the did:orb spec, and Mike Varley who has been building the did:orb implementation at SecureKey, now an Avast company.   https://diddirectory.com/orb    References Activity...

did:indy is specifically designed for issuing AnonCreds credentials. It is one of the first methods to offer a flexible namespace, allowing did:indy DIDs to be registered on any Hyperledger Indy network. An evolution on did:sov, did:indy is designed specifically and only for privacy-preserving self-sovereign identity. We talk with Stephen Curran, lead editor of the did:indy...

The did:peer method was the first DID method without universal resolution. Designed to facilitate direct one-to-one DIDs, only those parties to the peerage can resolve the DID–no one else even knows the DID exists, much less how to get to the DID Document, making did:peer arguably even MORE decentralized than ledger-based DIDs. We talk with...

The method did:ion began as an exercise in scalability. Backed by Microsoft, did:ion is a layer 2 “identity” network built on top of bitcoin that promises the security of the world’s oldest and largest cryptocurrency with radically lower cost and higher throughput. We talk with Daniel Buchner of Microsoft, the creator of the Sidetree protocol...

did:snail is hands-down the most innovative DID method we know of. It connects the world’s most modern identification architecture with the oldest, most widely adopted long distance communications channel known to man, the international postal system. Join us for a talk with Amy Guy, did:snail creator, and  Dmitri Zagidulin, a co-author of the did:snail specification,...
