Decentralized Identifiers

Speaking at the 2023 Conference of the Plurality Research Network

Ali · February 16, 2023 ·

At the Plurality Research Network Conference 2023, which commenced on January 13, 2022, and continued through January 15, 2023, I delivered a lighting talk the first day.

A Little Introduction to the Conference

Researchers and practitioners from various domains, such as computer science, sociology, political ethics, and government, who are exploring plural technologies are brought together at the Plurality Institute.

Plural technologies are reusable computing platforms that promote collaboration and development across various social communities.

A Brief Overview of My Talk at the Conference

Plurality Research Network Live Conference

During my presentation at the conference, I discussed the issues and difficulties that are associated with digital identifier systems, including the following examples:

  • There is no way for us to influence the assignment of digital Identifiers (private namespaces and globally managed registries).
  • Architectures for phone home or surveillance systems (the OpenID authentication process).
  • There is no standard method for sharing attributes.

I also discussed how different groups, organizations, and political systems handled the management of their own boundaries historically using paper.

After that, dove into Decentralized Identity. I went through the identifiers that don’t fall under the category of private namespaces or global registries. In essence, the protocols of DID (decentralized identifier), together with the standard components of the DID document, as well as Verifiable Credentials. You can se my talk here.

I really enjoyed the other talks given that first day. You can see them all here – if you click on “show more” in the comment each different speaker has their own links.

DWeb 2022 Talk: Decentralized Identity Open Standards

Ali · January 10, 2023 ·

At the invitation of the organizers of DWeb Camp 2022, I delivered a session on the subject of three open standards for decentralized identities.

Decentralized identifiers, verifiable credentials, and decentralized identifier communication were discussed throughout this session as three of the most important developing standards for decentralized identity.

Decentralized Identifiers: I went through a variety of issues in this standard, including how a decentralized identifier (DID) differs from private name spaces and globally controlled registries, what it looks like, the standard components of a DID document, DID specifications, and more.

Verifiable Credentials: In this section, I discussed what verifiable credentials are, how they function, as well as characteristics and benefits such as extensive expressive capacity and a vast array of potential applications.

Decentralized Identifier Communication: It is also known as DIDComm Messaging, and inside it, we are able to have peer-to-peer ownership of the social graph commons. During our presentation on this protocol for decentralized identification, I went through its viability and several uses, in addition to the mechanism behind it.

To that aim, I also discussed ways in which we might integrate many of the aforementioned open standards. In addition, two more standard ideas, the “personal data store” and “object capabilities,” have been offered in the conclusion.
