Light-weight Identity (LID) is a set of decentralised web protocols and software implementations for representing and using digital identities on the Internet in a light-weight manner, without reliance on a central authority. It identifies people and other entities with URLs controlled by the subject and uses public-key cryptography and REST-style web interactions to authenticate those identifiers and exchange profile information.
