DIDs differ from earlier attempts like DOI in a couple of respects: * Simplicity of representation (DIDs must resolve, and to fairly simple JSON objects) * Emphasis on crypto public key material -- the /main/ purpose of DIDs is less to provide a permanent URN (though they do that too), but more to contain public key material (which can be used for authentication and proof of possession). -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
