Speaker 0 00:00:06 The Rubric helps you understand the technologies behind decentralized identity, including decentralized identifiers, also known as DIDs or did, did documents and did methods decentralized identity and enables robust identity-based services without dependence on a trusted third party. So instead of being tied to a central service like Facebook or Google, or the department of motor vehicles, DIDs can be created by anyone anywhere and be used for any purpose. Did methods are the magic ingredient that gives dads their flexibility before creating any specific? Did you first choose did method, which determines how you create, read, update and deactivate a did of that method once created each did includes the name of its method in the identifier itself so that when you use the, did others know how to retrieve the associated document that contains the cryptographic material for secure interactions, different did methods use different underlying mechanisms with different performance, security and privacy? Trade-offs this show, the rubric reviews different did methods using a common set of criteria, comparing apples to apples, so you can make better decisions about which did method is appropriate for your needs.
