did:orb is a ledger-agnostic did method that enables a “fediverse” of federated verifiable data registries by combining Sidetree with Certificate Transparency. In this episode, we talk with Troy Ronda, editor of the did:orb spec, and Mike Varley who has been building the did:orb implementation at SecureKey, now an Avast company.
