did:web demo with Verifiable Credentials

This repo provides a simple JavaScript example that sets up a did:web DID via Github Pages, and demonstrates verifying a Verifiable Credential with the public key in the DID document.

Code

• init-key.js creates an ed25519 key pair and DID document
• issue.js issues a Verifiable Credential using a key generated from the previous step
• verify.js verifies the Verifiable Credential against the DID document found online using a did:web URI
• verify-mock.js verifies the Verifiable Credential against the local DID document

Artifacts

These artifacts in the docs/ directory are published to Github Pages:

• did.json is a DID document. It follows the naming convention for did:web and can be referenced as did:web:wesbiggs.github.io:did-web-vc-demo
• email.json is a signed Verifiable Credential generated from issue.js
• verified-email-address-credential.json is a JSON schema for the credential (here for demonstration purposes only)
