> Is this a generalization of the SSL certificate authority system? No, DIDs are a way to claim a decentralized identity but it doesn't prove any details related to our physical world, what you are mentioning about SSL is more-or-less Web of Trust, which DIDs do not support. > Can DIDs be used to e.g. prove that my name is Rune Svendsen and that some provided profile picture is actually me? No, anyone could easily claim that, and you need to be aware of who you trust.
