  • Patent number: 11729157
    Abstract: Bootstrapping trust in decentralized identifiers (DIDs) includes in response to receiving a request from an entity associated with a DID in a decentralized system, obtaining a DID document associated with the DID, and extracting a linked domain that is linked to the DID from the DID document. The DID document contains data associated with the DID that is recorded on the distributed ledger. The request contains the DID and data associated with the DID. Metadata associated with the linked domain is then retrieved from a domain name system (DNS). Based on the metadata associated with the linked domain and the data associated with the DID contained in the request, a trust score, indicating trustworthiness of the DID, is generated.
