Episode Synopsis "#4: ( Part 1/2) How do Decentralized Identifiers (DID) work?"

This episode is a two-part series of how Decentralized Identifiers (DID) work. In part one, we break down the basic elements of a DID and how it compares to the fragmented, paper-based systems that we still use today and how this new model could be applied in a digital world. What problems do Decentralized Identifiers (DID) solve when it comes to paper-based identity systems? How do you manage multiple private keys and different blockchains with DIDs? What is the difference between a credential and a claim? What are the working elements of a DID? How can you setup a free DID today? How are DIDs self-sovereign and give control back to the identity owner? What happens if you lose your private keys?
