Background

A did:web method driver for use with in-browser and server-side on Node.js with the did-io resolver library.

Draft spec (W3C CCG Work Item):

Usage

Initializing

import { Ed25519VerificationKey2020 }
  from '@digitalcredentials/ed25519-verification-key-2020'
import { X25519KeyAgreementKey2020 }
  from '@digitalcredentials/x25519-key-agreement-key-2020'
import { CryptoLD } from 'crypto-ld'

import * as didWeb from '@interop/did-web-resolver'

const cryptoLd = new CryptoLD()
cryptoLd.use(Ed25519VerificationKey2020)
cryptoLd.use(X25519KeyAgreementKey2020)

const didWebDriver = didWeb.driver({ cryptoLd })

// Optionally use it with the CachedResolver from did-io
import {CachedResolver} from '@digitalcredentials/did-io';
const resolver = new CachedResolver()
resolver.use(didWebDriver)

Generating a new DID

Generating from seed

If you have a deterministic secret seed (created with did-cli, for example) and would like to generate a did:web document from it:

const url = 'https://example.com'
const seed = 'z1AhV1bADy7RepJ64mvH7Kk7htFNGc7EA1WA5nGzLSTWc6o'

const { didDocument, keyPairs, methodFor } = await didWebDriver.generate({ url, seed })
// didDocument
{
  '@context': [
    'https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1',
    'https://w3id.org/security/suites/ed25519-2020/v1',
    'https://w3id.org/security/suites/x25519-2020/v1'
  ],
  id: 'did:web:example.com',
  assertionMethod: [{
    id: 'did:web:example.com#z6MkmDMjfkjs9XPCN1LfoQQRHz1mJ8PEdiVYC66XKhj3wGyB',
    type: 'Ed25519VerificationKey2020',
    controller: 'did:web:example.com',
    publicKeyMultibase: 'z6MkmDMjfkjs9XPCN1LfoQQRHz1mJ8PEdiVYC66XKhj3wGyB'
  }]
}

Generating new random keys

Invoking generate() by itself will create new keypairs for each proof purpose.

const { didDocument, keyPairs, methodFor } = await didWebDriver.generate()
// didDocument
{
  '@context': [
    'https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1',
    'https://w3id.org/security/suites/ed25519-2020/v1',
    'https://w3id.org/security/suites/x25519-2020/v1'
  ],
  id: 'did:web:example.com',
  capabilityInvocation: [{
    id: 'did:web:example.com#z6MkqUiWi2o5V5oDEVzqszpkDhzeJ2o9Z4zVyTWeASqgrgti',
    type: 'Ed25519VerificationKey2020',
    controller: 'did:web:example.com',
    publicKeyMultibase: 'zC2TU7nYe9YJk81A9CRruNcSeUTXJ9Bk9HSbiLAsfwU7L'
