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've worked with three vendors' implementations of LDAP, several versions of SAML, OAuth, JWT, Okta, Azure Active Directory, etc, etc... I'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's "identity"... somehow? How? What? Where?<p>The documentation is impenetrable buzzword-compliant gibberish that makes SAML's documentation look like crystal-clear poetry in comparison.
