Not-so-urgent question - signing documents with 3ID provider without talking to ceramic

Schwartz10 opened this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

Hey there! Wondering if it's possible to create and verify JWS tokens without talking to Ceramic. Seems like all the signing happens in the 3ID did provider anyways, so this should theoretically be possible?

Might add complications if we are using authSecret instead of seed to instantiate 3ID did provider

The 3ID DID Method uses Ceramic to look up the DID Document (which contains the private keys used to verify signatures). You can in theory make signatures without Ceramic, but not verify them.
