Think that has been looked into by some in the past. There's now also people looking into the W3C recommendations of Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credentials which are gaining a lot of traction in developer circles.

DID comes with a ton of methods where many are blockchain-related and not desirable for fediverse, but others are unrelated and these may pick up steam.

@humanetech @IgnisIncendio DID is another underspecified thing which would be likely to create fragmentation due to the lack of any singular underlying identity mechanism. This is a recipe for further balkanisation/division into identity silos, rather than unification of the internet as a global publically accessible system.
