Re: What’s after DIDs?

Would it be possible to make a minor extension to HttpSignature
so that one can use https WebIDs [0] just as a way to get a simple
thing going? That could be completely compatible with DIDs, but
would allow one to get going in cases where one does not need
all of the extra goodies that DIDs give one.

I did some work on that to implement a server side HTTP-Signatures
and before that I worked on how one could use JS Crypto to create
keys in the browser.
