did:jwk embeds a JSON Web Key (JWK) in a DID to enable the use of JWKs in DID-enabled systems. Simple and straightforward, it promises to give did:key and did:pkh a run for their money. We talk with two of the co-authors of did:jwk, Jeremie Miller, known for creating Jabber and XMPP, and Orie Steele, CTO and Co-Founder of Transmute.
