A DID Key Implementation in TypeScript

DID Key Method Specification

did:key is a DID Method which is offline friendly, cryptographically self certifying, requires no trust of blockchain or certificate authoritites and is ideal for ephemeral use.

🚧 Under Construction.

Demos:

• Web App: https://did.key.transmute.industries.

did-key.js

If you want to resolve all did keys, you need to install all of them:

npm i @transmute/did-key.js@latest @transmute/did-key-ed25519@latest @transmute/did-key-x25519@latest @transmute/did-key-bls12381@latest @transmute/did-key-secp256k1@latest @transmute/did-key-p384@latest --save

Use the imports below if you only want to support 1 did key type.

Ed25519

npm i @transmute/did-key-ed25519@latest --save

X25519

npm i @transmute/did-key-x25519@latest --save

Bls12381

Release process

Unstable releases

Unstable releases are automatic, from CD:

• On every commit to master an unstable release is pushed. An unstable release is a release with a tag of the form: vA.B.C-unstable.X. Everytime a PR is merged, X is incremented.
• If "skip-ci" is present in the commit message, the aforementioned behavior is skipped

Stable releases

Stable releases are triggered by a dev locally

• Make sure you are familiar with Semantic Versioning
• Run npm install and npm build in the root level directory
• Run
  • npm run publish:stable:patch for a patch version increment
  • npm run publish:stable:minor for a minor version increment
  • npm run publish:stable:major for a major version increment

Example

• Current version is v0.1.0
• A PR is made to fix bug A. When it's merged a release is made: v0.1.0-unstable-0
• A PR is made to add feature B. When it's merged a release is made: v0.1.0-unstable-1
• A PR is made to add feature C. When it's merged a release is made: v0.1.0-unstable-2
• Dev runs npm run publish:stable:patch. Current version is v0.1.0
• A PR is made to fix bug D. When it's merged a release is made: v0.1.1-unstable-0
• etc...

Deployment

Because did:key is just a deterministic transformer of public key bytes...

You really ought to never resolve it over a network.

However, it can be useful for testing purposes.

See the workbench and resolver modules.

1. Create a new glitch.com project.
2. Allow git pushes for the project.

Tools > Terminal

git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead

3. Get the project git url

Tools > Import & Export > Project_Git_URL

4. Set the project as a submodule

git submodule add <Project_Git_URL> glitch-hosting

5. Make some changes and push

6. Refresh glitch project to see changes.

Tools > Terminal

refresh

7. Setup npm scripts to automate deployments according to your preferences.
