[Standards] Re: Proposed XMPP Extension: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)

I do not understand why the XEP is locked to OMEMO and also we roll our own identity scheme. What we can do instead is use a standard that is well documented and already exists for this Decentralized Identifiers https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/ this would give us: - decoupling of the verification of identity from any centralized entity and any encryption scheme I understand that it supposedly strives to not depend on servers, but such a thing is not possible yet in xmpp due to DNS reliance. DIDs on the other hand can support multiple verification methods. - our own xmpp method to resolve things to - a standardized way to represent this and do discovery, not reinvent our own - multiple ways of authentication besides just xmpp pubsub things MSavoritias On 6/2/26 12:39, Daniel Gultsch wrote:
