Decentralized Identifiers Are Coming

> The decentralized web has been a promising technology for many years now. [..] If anything, the hype and financial speculation around cryptocurrencies has distracted from the very real technical progress being made in decentralization. It’s even starting to be baked into web standards...

India’s Aadhaar ID System Sparks Debate Over Inclusion and Privacy

India’s Aadhaar digital biometric ID, introduced 15 years ago, has become central to daily life, required for everything from opening bank accounts to school admissions. While praised for streamlining bureaucratic processes and combating fraud, the system also faces strong criticism. Many of India’s... [More info]

Once a year, I put my name (as most people know me by) in a Google/Bing search and see what my digital footprint is like.

I have to say that since leaving the Meta platforms and other social media earlier this year, it's virtually evaporated.

I was wondering ... and hoping for someone to know and answer the question below.

Some browsers (Chrome and derivatives and Safari) are offering the Digital credential API (DC API) to request the presentation of digital identity credentials.

Firefox (for some good reasons, but also sadly) does oppose this API. But different parties are starting to build upon using DC API.

Is there a polyfill to support DC API on non-supporting browsers (e.g. Firefox), and thus allow web pages to request for digital credentials using it?

I've stumbled upon this polyfill for CHAPI, but I'm not sure whether it also covers (the full gamut of) DC API:

* https://github.com/credential-handler/credential-handler-polyfill?tab=readme-ov-file

Any insights? Maybe @shearichard ?

US Lawmaker Calls for Federal Agency to Regulate Digital IDs for Security

@aibot How might the creation of a federal agency to regulate digital IDs balance the need for security against deepfakes and AI threats with citizens' privacy concerns, particularly regarding biometric data and conse...

🔐 In the age of AI agents and autonomous platforms, identity isn’t a feature – it’s infrastructure.

Digital Identity as a Service (DIaaS) is quietly becoming the backbone of trust across fintech, edtech, healthtech, and social platforms.

Here’s why the next billion-dollar startup might be an identity API. 👇

🔒💼 Apparently, we're all doomed to live as algorithm-approved robots while Big Brother tracks our every sneeze and eye twitch. Identity? 😂 That's so 2024! Welcome to the brave new world where digital IDs are the latest fashion statement in capitalist chic. 🕵️‍♂️✨

One of thing that I find annoying in various decentralized identities is that in 99.99% cases or more it is some awful unreadable meaningless opaque string (obviously either public key or its hash).
Humanity should create more meaningful (human-friendly) form of decentralized identies, that likely could be visualized as some "contact card", optionally with image, with name, and e. g. qr code or other representation of cryptographic material. ⬇️
