DID Peer Method

The did-peer method is a DID method that is designed to be used for peer-to-peer communication. It is based on did:key which can be used for Verification (V) and Encryption (E) purposes. It also supports services (S) which can be used to define endpoints for communication.

Example:

let peer = DIDPeer;
match peer.resolve(DID::new::<str>("did:peer:2.Vabc...").unwrap()).await {
   Ok(res) => {
       println!("DID DOcument: {:#?}", res.document.into_document()),
   },
   Err(e) => {
     println!("Error: {:?}", e);
  }
}

did-peer Rust implementation

Only supports did:peer numalgo 0,2 (did:peer:0, did:peer:2)

NOTE: The DID Peer Spec incorrectly specifies VerificationMethod and Service id's as relative URI fragments instead of absolute URI's.

To address this, we prepend the full DID before the #fragment

Build a WebAssembly package

Prerequisite: wasm-pack

NOTE: Enable the uuid crate in Cargo.toml to get the WASM build to work.

wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir www/pkg

this places compiled wasm files into the ./www/pkg/ directory.

To run examples cargo run --example <command>

Generate a random did:peer and corresponding DID document cargo run --example generate

Resolve a did:peer to a DID Document cargo run --example resolve <did:peer:2.*>
