Relationship between DIDs and SSI
Distributed identifiers (DIDs), also known as decentralized identifiers, and self-sovereign identity (SSI) are closely related concepts in the field of decentralized identity.
Identity management (IdM) has become a significant topic in an increasingly digital society. Traditional identification systems have frequently been centralized, resulting in privacy problems, security flaws, and a lack of user autonomy. However, DIDs and SSI are changing the way we think about digital identification. In this chapter, we’ll go deep into DIDs and SSI, looking at their origins, applications, problems, and the tremendous influence they have on the connections that characterize our digital lives.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- DIDs as the backbone of SSI
- DIDs and SSI relationship basics
- Emerging DID methods and innovations in the space
- DID issuers and verifiers
- Benefits of DID methods and enhancing privacy...
