Following last week’s installment, the 3th article in the series “A Thorough Examination: Will Blockchain Make Humanity Happy?” has been published in Nikkei Cross Tech, presenting part 2 of the history of decentralized identity. It is titled “From Centralized IDs to Decentralized IDs, History Repeats Itself.” Last time, we compared W3C DIDs with XRI; this time, we finally turn to OpenID. There are few writings that explain the ideas underlying OpenID, so if you claim that OpenID is centralized, I suggest reading this material and thinking about it a little before making that argument.
The table of contents is roughly as follows.
- Introduction
- The OpenID Philosophy Embodying “Self-Sovereignty” and “Independence”
- Account URI: The Problem of Being Able to Type an Email Address but Not a URL
- Overview of the ‘acct’ URI
- Resolution of the ‘acct’ URI
- Relationship Between OpenID Connect and the ‘acct’ URI
- SIOP and Algorithmically Generated Metadata Documents
- Do DIDs Help Distribute Power?—History Repeats Itself
On page 1, the current text reads:
YADIS (Yet Another Distributed Identity Systemand 1 other decentralized identity system)

The word “and” here is an error. The system is named “Yet Another Distributed Identity System,” so the correct notation should look like the following. I have requested a correction.
YADIS (Yet Another Distributed Identity System, “another 1 decentralized identity system”)

Note: Correction confirmed on the 3th at 17:59.
Please have a read.
