Our Focus

DIF is an engineering-driven organization focused on developing the foundational elements necessary to establish an open ecosystem for decentralized identity and ensure interop between all participants.

Technical Specifications

Groups in DIF develop specifications and emerging standards for protocols, components, and data formats that implementers can execute against.

Reference Implementations

Beyond specifications, DIF members develop open source reference implementations of the technical components and protocols they create.
