# Identity
|
|
|
|
(trace online accounts across various kinds of contiunity)
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases/Motivations
|
|
|
|
Why do we care about identity anyway?
|
|
|
|
- ability to control access to private data and over an account (ie need to identify myself, this is me, this is my account)
|
|
- ability to communicate with a person across platforms, ie 'send this message to X on whatever platform he is on' (ie need to find another person by their identity as a person)
|
|
- ability to track reputation and credibility of a user across platforms
|
|
- ability to identify things other than humans, ie accounts, corporations, organizations, documents
|
|
|
|
## Decentralized identity
|
|
|
|
- [DIDs or Decentralized Identifiers are a W3C standard](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/)
|
|
Simple example: `did:example:123456789abcdefghi`
|
|
^^ scheme identifier
|
|
^^ did method
|
|
^^ method-specific identifier
|
|
|
|
