  1. Are you a member of W3C involved in Decentralized Identity work?

    GDC 2026, 1-3 September 2026 in Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭, brings together global stakeholders including IGOs, SDOs, OSOs, and NGOs to shape the future of digital credentials, identity, and wallets.

  2. The Decentralized Identifier Working Group published a W3C Candidate Recommendation Snapshot of Decentralized Identifier Resolution (DID Resolution) v1.

    DIDs are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable individuals and organizations to generate their own identifiers using systems they trust.

    Decentralized identifier (DID) resolution is the process of obtaining a DID document and accompanying metadata for a specific DID.

  3. W3C tech in the news: "W3C releases updated decentralized identifiers spec for comment"

    The W3C...has published a Candidate Recommendation Snapshot of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.1, signaling that the standard is technically sound and complete and inviting implementations to test its stability in practice"

  4. Digital identity today is centralized, fragile, and privacy-invasive.

    Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) offer a different approach: user-owned identity, cryptographic verification, and no central authority.

  11. This thread is well worth reading. It's about the #W3C standard DID: "Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity.". The take away: We already had a solution for Decentralized identifiers but … #NIH.  

    My #Hubzilla had this (here it is called "Nomadic Identity") and it rescued my fediverse identity.


    It starts with this posting:

    #^glyn (@[email protected])
    What would it take to add decentralised identity (e.g. W3C DIDs) to the Fediverse? Who is already working on this?

    Bluesky's AT Protocol is a great proof of concept, but probably isn't the endgame. Abstracting Fediverse identity using hostnames and WebFinger is another useful experiment, but again probably not the endgame.

    #DecentralizedIdentity #ATProtocol #W3C #ActivityPub



    The Folks from #Hubzilla are stepping in and explain, that this problem was already solved even before  #ActivityPub existed:

    #^Jupiter Rowland
    @glyn Decentralised identity has been available for longer than Mastodon, let alone ActivityPub. Only that it is known as "nomadic identity" here.

    It was first implemented by Friendica creator @Mike Macgirvin Macgirvin ?️ in the Zot protocol in 2011 and in a Friendica fork named Red in 2012, later renamed into the Red Matrix, eventually reworked and renamed into Hubzilla in 2015.

    Proof: This Hubzilla channel of mine actually simultaneously resides on two servers.

    (Almost) everything that Mike has made afterwards, forks and forks of forks of Hubzilla, used to have or still have nomadic identity implemented.

  13. Read - Blog Post - Decentralized Identity: The Future of Digital Identification
    This blog post at batoi.com/blogs/insights/decen provides a deep dig into the concept of decentralization and how decentralized identity will become the future of authentication.

  14. Identity is very large and amorphous! Holochain’s latest blog delves into my chat with Kim Hamilton Duffy, Exec. Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation on how digital identities have evolved beyond usernames and passwords to encompass a vast array of personal data points. blog.holochain.org/privacy-sec

  15. Claims and credentials are a big part of digital identity. I had the pleasure of speaking with Kim Hamilton Duffy, Executive Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation, about the power of verifiable credential specifications. Many different implementations of this one standard can help to address various forms of fraud that currently are costly and difficult to investigate.

  16. ⛓️ Excited to lead the blockchain research team! We're innovating in decentralized identity. Looking to collaborate and learn from experts in this field. If you're working on similar challenges, let's connect! 🤝🔗
