Attestto-com/did-pki-spec

The project is in its absolute infancy (0 stars, 0 forks, 0 days old) and represents a specification rather than a functional software product. Its value lies entirely in its potential for standardization and adoption by national identity providers or trust service providers (TSPs). The core defensive moat for any DID method is the 'network effect' of adoption; currently, this project has none. It faces stiff competition from established methods like 'did:web' (which uses DNS) and 'did:x509', as well as regional frameworks like the EU's eIDAS 2.0. Frontier labs (OpenAI/Google) are unlikely to build this directly, as it involves deep regulatory and government-level PKI integration which is outside their core LLM focus. However, platform domination risk is medium because giants like Microsoft (Entra) or Apple (Wallet) could easily implement their own proprietary PKI-to-DID bridges, potentially sidelining independent open specs. The displacement horizon is set to 1-2 years because identity standards move slowly, but a competing spec from a major consortium could render this obsolete quickly.
