RE: What’s after DIDs?

The DNS-based Universal DID Server data platform transparently supports:

  *   did:example:123456 and
  *   123456.example.did

…with complete interoperability.

Universal DID Resolution is based on existing, common, every day DNS (port 53) protocols that have been powering the Internet for decades …as well as any of the newer JSON-over-HTTP-over-DNS protocols.

I’m approaching a minimally viable state of code completeness and will be posting a webcast on YouTube “soon”.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Daniel,

The DID itself can't be did/example/123456, because that's not a valid URI (DIDs being valid URIs is one of their central features).

In theory it would be possible to define a DID Resolution binding<https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-resolution/#bindings-https> that would resolve a DID like did:example:123456 by making an HTTP GET call to https://api.service.com/v1/did/example/123456.


But then again, what's wrong with just concatenating the DID with colons, i.e. https://api.service.com/v1/did:example:123456 ?

My question is better phrased as a proposal:

If this was the id:

did/example/123456/path

and this the resolver:

https://api.service.com/v1/


with a mere concat this would be simple.

https://api.service.com/v1/did/example/123456/path
