It also lets you sign standards compliant JSON Web Tokens (JWT) that can be consumed using the DID-JWT library. This library can be used to create a new ethr-did identifier. It allows ethr-did identifiers to be represented as an object that can perform actions such as updating its DID document, signing messages, and verifying messages from other DIDs. Use this if you are looking for the easiest way to start using ethr-did identifiers, and want high-level abstractions to access its entire range of capabilities. It encapsulates all the functionality of ethr-did-resolver and ethr-did-registry. A DID is an Identifier that allows you to lookup a DID document that can be used to authenticate you and messages created by you. Ethr-DID provides a scalable identity method for public keys and Ethereum addresses that gives them the ability to collect on-chain and off-chain data. Because Ethr-DID allows any Ethereum key pair to become a DID, it is more scalable and privacy-preserving than smart contract based identity methods, like our previous Proxy Contract. This particular DID method relies on the Ethr-Did-Registry. The Ethr-DID-Registry is a smart contract that facilitates public key resolution for off-chain (and on-chain) auth","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/uport-project","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/uport-project/ethr-did/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
