Decentralized Identifiers (DID) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, self-sovereign digital identities. Unlike traditional identifiers, such as email addresses or social security numbers, which are typically managed by centralized authorities (like governments or corporations), DIDs are created, owned, and controlled by the individual or entity they represent. This decentralization empowers users to manage their identities without relying on third parties, enhancing privacy and security. 

The primary feature of DIDs is their ability to function independently of any centralized registry or authority. Each DID is a unique string that can be used to identify a person, organization, or device. DIDs can be associated with various types of verifiable credentials, which are digital statements that can be independently verified and are often issued by trusted entities. This allows individuals to share specific credentials (such as age verification or professional qualifications) without disclosing unnecessary personal information. 

DIDs are built on blockchain technology or other decentralized networks, ensuring that the identifiers are tamper-proof and immutable. This enhances trust, as anyone can verify the authenticity of a DID without needing to rely on a central authority. Additionally, DIDs can be resolved to obtain public keys or service endpoints, facilitating secure communication and transactions. 

For example, a freelancer might create a DID to represent their professional identity. They could obtain verifiable credentials from clients or platforms that attest to their skills and work history. When applying for new projects, the freelancer can share their DID along with the relevant credentials, allowing potential clients to verify their qualifications without exposing personal details. 

DIDs are particularly valuable in scenarios where privacy, security, and user control are paramount, such as in healthcare, finance, and online services. Overall, Decentralized Identifiers represent a significant shift towards more secure and user-centric identity management in the digital age, enabling individuals to take control of their online identities while maintaining privacy and security.
