=== Decentralized PKI === [[Decentralized identifiers]] (DIDs) eliminate dependence on centralized registries for identifiers as well as centralized certificate authorities for key management, which is the standard in hierarchical PKI. In cases where the DID registry is a [[distributed ledger]], each entity can serve as its own root authority. This architecture is referred to as decentralized PKI (DPKI).<ref name="ec">{{cite web |title=Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) |url=https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/WD-did-core-20191209/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200514014423/https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/WD-did-core-20191209/ |website=[[World Wide Web Consortium]] |archive-date=14 May 2020 |date=9 December 2019 |access-date=16 June 2020 |quote=""}}</ref><ref name="dpki">{{cite web |title=Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure |url=https://www.weboftrust.info/papers/#pki |website=weboftrust.info |date=23 December 2015 |access-date=23 June 2020 |quote=""}}</ref>
