W3C invites implementations of Decentralized Identifier Resolution (DID Resolution) v1

The Decentralized Identifier Working Group has published a W3C Candidate Recommendation Snapshot of Decentralized Identifier Resolution (DID Resolution) v1. Decentralized identifier (DID) resolution is the process of obtaining a DID document and accompanying metadata for a specific DID. The process takes a DID and a set of resolution options as its input and returns a DID document and associated metadata about the resolved document and the resolution request. A resolved DID document is a set of information which enables cryptographically verifiable interactions with the DID subject, including mechanisms such as cryptographic public keys.
