DID Configuration is a draft spefication being developed within the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) and intended for registration with IANA as a Well-Known resource.
The DID Configuration resource provides proof of a bi-directional relationship between the controller of an origin and a DID via cryptographically verifiable signatures that are linked to a DID's key material.
In more simple words, a DID configuration enables you trust a digital signature as belonging to an entity that owns an web domain.
Decentralized Identifier (DID) is a new type of globally unique identifier defined by the W3C Decentralized Identifier Working Group in this specification. The DID specification is designed to enable individuals and organizations to generate their own identifiers using systems they trust. These new identifiers enable entities to prove control over them by authenticating using cryptographic proofs such as digital signatures. A DID identifies any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) that the controller of the DID decides that it identifies.
