<p class="issue">TODO: Define privacy considerations for DID resolution</p>

<section id="profiling-requesters">
<h2>Non-DID Identifiers</h2>
<p class="issue" data-number="95">There is discussion about minimizing the extent of profiling of requesters
from DID Resolvers.
<h2>Profiling of DID Resolution and Dereferencing Requesters</h2>
<p><a>DID resolvers</a> and <a>DID URL dereferencers</a> will be able to log requests
to their services for resolution and dereferencing. Over time, these logs could be used to track
and profile the clients making requests for these services. To mitigate this privacy risk,
clients should make such requests to services they trust, for example,
because of an existing business relationship or because the service is running on
infrastructure they control. Clients can also take steps to obfuscate their
requests to a service in order to limit the possibilities of correlation and profiling.
