=== Concepts adapted from W3C verifiable credentials specification

The following definitions are adapted from the link:++https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/#terminology++[W3C verifiable credentials data model] specification, version 1.1. This specification uses the prefix “W3C” to denote concepts incorporated from that specification.

==== W3C verifiable credential

A tamper-evident credential that has authorship that can be cryptographically verified.

==== W3C decentralized identifier

A portable URL-based identifier, also known as a *DID,* associated with an entity. These identifiers are most often used in a _<<W3C verifiable credential>>_ and are associated with subjects such that a _<<W3C verifiable credential>>_ itself can be easily ported from one repository to another without the need to reissue the _<<W3C verifiable credential>>_. An example of a DID is `did:example:123456abcdef`.

==== W3C decentralized identifier document

Also referred to as a *DID document,* this is a document that is accessible using a verifiable data registry and contains information related to a specific _<<W3C decentralized identifier>>,_ such as the associated repository and public key information.

=== Concepts adapted from ToIP technical architecture

The following definitions are adapted from the link:++https://github.com/trustoverip/TechArch/blob/v1-PR1/spec.md++[Trust over IP (ToIP) technology architecture specification]. This specification uses the prefix “ToIP” to denote concepts incorporated from that specification.
