Decentralized Identifiers

DID related operations, like registering, updating and deactivating DIDs. For more info on DIDs, go here.

Commands:

• Create DID - using create command.

• Resolve DID - using resolve command.

• List DIDs - using list command.

• Import DID to custodian store - using import command.

• Delete DID from custodian - using delete command.

All commands have the help option available:

• <your-command> -h

• <your-command> --help

E.g. did create -h

Create did help command output

Create DID

Creates a DID document using did create [options] command based on the corresponding SSI ecosystem (DID method). Optionally the associated asymmetric key is also created.

Options

• -m, --did-method [key | web | ebsi | iota | jwk | cheqd] - Specify DID method [key], Supported DID methods are: "key", "web", "ebsi", "iota", "jwk"

• -k, --key TEXT - Specific key (ID or alias)

• -d, --domain TEXT - Domain for did:web

• -p, --path TEXT - Path for did:web

• -v, --version INT - Version of did:ebsi. Allowed values: 1 (default), 2

• -n, --network [testnet | mainnet] - cheqd network, default is testnet

• -j, --useJwkJcsPub - specifies whether to create a did:key using the jwk_jcs-pub multicodec (code: 0xeb51)

The returned value represents the DID document.

E.g. did create -m ebsi -k 8a2c3628acdd45999b4c0b5a69911437

IOTA support

For creating IOTA DIDs and registering them on the IOTA tangle, a wrapper library needs to be installed and available in the local library path.

The wrapper library is included in the SSIKit Docker image, such that for Docker users no additional setup is required.

CLI users can find instructions for build and SSIKit integration at:

-d, --did TEXT DID to be resolved

-r, --raw / -t, --typed

• -f, --file TEXT - Load the DID document from the given file

• -d, --did TEXT - Try to resolve DID document for the given DID
