In the case of a [=DID=], there is no intermediary registrar or account
provider to generate such notifications. However, if the [=verifiable data
registry=] on which the [=DID=] is registered directly supports change
notifications, a subscription service can be offered to [=DID controllers=].
Notifications could be sent directly to the relevant [=service endpoints=]
listed in an existing [=DID=].

Any sort of change notification service is expected to be hardened against
spoofing, denial of service, linkability, and other attacks on security or
privacy. Mitigations such as integrity-protecting change notification messages
and their sources, binding notifications to previous cryptographic hashes of the
[=DID document=], and enforcement of rate limits are expected to be documented
and be a core part of change notification service specifications.
