Full Title or Meme
Any one, any where can create an identifier that will be accepted everywhere.
Context
Everyone knows the problem with identities on the internet. They are not under the control of users, who are extremely interested in their own Identity and most want their own Privacy, at least in the original sense of that word. They do not want to be bombarded with constant, unwanted, interruptions.
Solutions
- Self-sovereign identities are touted to be the answer to all parties' concerns. [1] The only problem with it that I can see is that no one seems to know exactly what it is or how it might work. MIT has started an open source effort to build something[2] but no one seems to know what.
- One specific proposal for a Decentralized ID is underway at the W3C Credential Community Group (CC). See that Wiki page for more details.
