did:web takes advantage of existing World Wide Web infrastructure for DIDs. Instead of relying on a distributed ledger or embedding key material in the DID itself, did:web uses websites to resolve DID documents, giving anyone who controls a web page the ability to host DID documents. We talk with the editors of did:web about this innovative DID method: Orie Steel, CTO at Transmute, and Oliver Terbu, Tech Lead at Spruce Systems, Inc.
