[Potential work item] DID methods in EDU use cases

kimdhamilton opened this issue · comments

From Nov 9 2020 meeting:

  • Recommendations for how DIDs can be used in EDU use cases
    • issuer vs recipient dids
  • did methods -- which are useful where

Just in case people are not aware, last week at the DID WG Virtual F2F meeting, @dhh1128 presented new work on the DID Rubric document that introduces new criteria for evaluating DID methods in the areas of "security" and "privacy" in addition to "decentralization".

See w3c/did-rubric#10

Updated DCC link for identity design decisions:

https://github.com/digitalcredentials/docs/blob/main/identity/design_decisions_id.md

Summary:

  • initial implementation using did:key for learners & did:web for issuers
  • based on the DID rubric mentioned in above comment

How would the task force suggest we take this from here? Is further evaluation needed? Other DID recommendations and why?
