Mozilla and Google Objections Overruled on “Decentralized Identifiers” by W3C
Something that should be a bit of a warning flag is that I have two decades of identity-related experience but I still have no idea what DID <i>even is</i>.<p>For reference, I&#x27;ve worked with three vendors&#x27; implementations of LDAP, several versions of SAML, OAuth, JWT, Okta, Azure Active Directory, etc, etc... I&#x27;ve even deployed Smart Card authentication in the field several times.<p>I literally have no idea, not a <i>clue</i> what DID is supposed to be in a practical sense, <i>despite</i> having read a significant volume of material on a subject.<p>Like, okay, it&#x27;s &quot;identity&quot;... somehow? How? What? Where?<p>The documentation is impenetrable buzzword-compliant gibberish that makes SAML&#x27;s documentation look like crystal-clear poetry in comparison.
