Creating Trust in a Digital World using Digital Identities and Verifiable Credentials
Announcing the release of Sphereon’s Well Known DID client
As part of our continuing development of SSI-specification compliant components, we’re happy to announce the release of a client for Well Known DIDs. The Sphereon Well Known DID client is open source (Apache 2.0) and available now on https://github.com/Sphereon-Opensource/wellknown-did-client
This client is written in TypeScript and can be integrated or used with various libraries for Verifiable Credentials.
The use case for DIDs is that a user, organisation, or device can own it and prove that they control it. But if a verifier doesn’t know ‘who’ the DID belongs to, then just a DID isn’t very useful.
Linking a DID to an organisation’s domain solves this problem: you can cryptographically verify the link between the DID and a Domain.
This enables Wallet vendors to present and display the domain and other organisational information about the Issuer. And the same for Verifiers when they request data from the Holder.
The Sphereon Well Known DID client is conforming to the?DIF specification for Well-known DID Configurations. Many thanks go out to the Editors for their hard work on this and other DIF specifications!
