## What is Decentralized ID?
The essence of Decentralized-ID is in creating open standards for a privacy preserving internet-wide identity layer — not owned by any one particular organization, but interoperable between all.
It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized-id without discussing blockchain, self sovereign identity, standardization and frameworks, along with global privacy and digital identifiction regulations:
* Cryptographers, privacy advocates and digital identity enthusiasts <a href="/history/">laid the foundation</a> by deeply considering the implications of identification practices in the electronic world.
* <a href="/literature/self-sovereign-identity/evolution-of-ssi/">Self Sovereign Identity principles emerged</a> from their work, gathering momentum as the digital age began to settle in.
* The European Union's GDPR enlarged the global conversation around digital privacy practices, lending much weight to the SSI credo.
* The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also fueled efforts towards a global and widely accessible identity solution.
* The Blockchain industry exploded around <a href="https://bitcoinfo.xyz">Bitcoin</a>, proving the concept of digital scarcity, in the form of a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) currency.
* <a href="https://sourcecrypto.pub/decentralized-web/">Decentralized web</a> and P2P technologists also lend strength to Decentralized Identity efforts.
* Collectively arrived at solutions are trending towards congruence with the spirit of innovation, privacy concerns, and compliance within the global regulatory landscape.

> In 2005, Microsoft's Chief Identity Architect, Kim Cameron wrote an influential paper called The Laws of Identity (PDF). Kim had been talking about and formulating these laws in 2004 and throughout 2005. It's no coincidence that Internet Identity Workshop got started in 2005. Many people were talking about user-centric identity and developing ideas about how we might be able to create an identity layer for the Internet. Fifteen years later, we're still at it, but getting closer and closer all the time.
>
> The Internet was created without any way to identify the people who used it. The Internet was a network of machines. Consequently, all the identity in Internet protocols is designed to identify machines and services. People used the Internet through some institution (their company or university) and were part of that institution's administrative identity system. This can still be seen in the format of email addresses that identify both recipient and sender as someone@someplace. As the Internet grew to include people who weren't formally associated with an institution, every Web site and service created their own administrative identity domains. The result is the fractured plethora of identifiers, policies, and user experiences that constitute digital identity in 2019.

* [Difference Between Authentication and Authorization](https://techdifferences.com/difference-between-authentication-and-authorization.html)
> The identity of a person is assured by authentication. On the other hand, authorization checks the access list that the authenticated person has. In other words, the authorization includes the permissions that a person has given.

* [Identity: The Elephant in the Enterprise Blockchain Room](https://hackernoon.com/identity-the-elephant-in-the-enterprise-blockchain-room-6f31ed8d4132)
> The adoption of permissioned blockchain technologies in the enterprise is a road full of challenges. The so called Web3 stack based on decentralized ledgers is still fundamentally immature to enable sophisticated enterprise business processes. Among the building blocks missing from enterprise blockchain platforms, identity raises to the top of the list as one of the omnipresent challenges of this new generation of enterprise solutions. At Invector Labs, we are regularly faced with the challenges of enabling identity management capabilities in permissioned blockchain solutions. As a result, we have developed certain ideas of the key capabilities and models of an identity layer for enterprise blockchain solutions which I would like to outline in this article.

> The SapirWhorf Hypothesis, also known as the principle of linguistic relativity, posits that language constructs our reality and worldview. While the hypothesis has been contested over the years, language is unarguably fundamental to the models of the world we build in our heads — and in our systems.

> This workshop — provided by IDPro — will provide a comprehensive (and fun) introductory view of the identity world that will give participants a solid understanding of IAMs foundations. Part 1 of this 2-part class begins with the basics like directories, identity proofing, provisioning, authentication (including multi-factor), authorization, as well as federation technologies like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. In Part 2, we build on those foundational technologies to explain PKI & digital certificates, privileged access management, identity for IoT, identity assurance, privacy issues, identity standards organizations, and even known attack vectors.

The idea has always been for this to be a collaborative effort. Soon, there will be a public mailing list, as that seems to be how decentralized organizations actually work online.
I've found some work gathering information related to agents. That is all I wanted, when I started this project last year. That somehow my newfound passion for making curated lists, where I see the need, might develop into opportunities for gainful employ, doing the same.

The work is greatly improving my domain knowledge and experience. However, all of that isn't available for publication under my NDA. Regardless, it helps to cement the relevance of this resource, and offers some incentive for me to update this site with the plentiful material I'd had waiting for the opportunity to work with.
Regardless of the path this site, or my work takes, I feel blessed to have had such meaningful learning experience and initiation into digital identity.
