DIDs

This FAIRsharing record describes: Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

本FAIRsharing记录详述如下：去中心化标识符（Decentralized Identifiers，DIDs）是一类新型标识符，可实现可验证的去中心化数字身份。每个DID均可指代由其控制器所确定的任意主体（例如个人、组织、实物、数据模型、抽象实体等）。与典型的联邦标识符不同，DIDs的设计使其能够脱离中心化注册机构、身份提供商与证书颁发机构。具体而言，尽管可借助第三方协助发现与DID相关的信息，但该设计允许DID的控制器无需获得任何其他方的许可，即可证明其对该DID的控制权。DIDs属于统一资源标识符（Uniform Resource Identifiers，URIs），用于将DID主体与DID文档相关联，从而支持与该主体相关的可信交互。
