Re: [Hyperledger Indy] Hyperledger Indy and Ethereum DIDs interoperability through decentralized universal resolvers on Ethereum/Indy - Nathan Aw from Singapore

it seems to me like you are asking the wrong question.
I would think that the root-of-trust (rot) folk are asking the right
question.
What/where does the user get the trusted set of links from? The
interoperability will take place only in apps (and apis) that use DIDs from
different sources.
As you might imagine, there will be different answers, just as there are
different answers today for the ssl rot.
Letting my imagination run Wilde here are some:
1. The idealists on this list will insist that every user be able to audit
every piece of software on their box and create the rot for themselves. The
users will ignore them.
2. The dictators of the world will establish rot for their sphere of
influence and make it illegal to use another other rot. If the users ignore
them, they will be shot.
3. The browser mfgs will each create their own rot as they do today for the
ssl rot which will be be default for uses whose only real choice will be
which browser to use.
4. Fox news will be the most popular independent rot.

Peace ..tom
