did:key Method Resolver
This package contains did:key method resolver implementation
Installation
$ npm install key-did-resolver
Usage
This code includes support for the curves Ed25519, Secp256k1, Secp256r1 (P-256), Secp384r1 (P-384), and Secp521r1 (P-521) which follow the test vectors at: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/did-method-key/tree/main/test-vectors
This code has been tested with the following did:key
[^1] providers:
| Curve | Repository |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ed25519 | https://github.com/ceramicnetwork/js-did/tree/main/packages/key-did-provider-ed25519 (EIP-2844 RPC) |
| Secp256k1 | https://github.com/ceramicnetwork/js-did/tree/main/packages/key-did-provider-secp256k1 (JWE not supported) |
| P-256, P-384, P-521 | https://github.com/bshambaugh/did-key-creator (public key to did:key only) |
| P-256 | https://github.com/bshambaugh/key-did-provider-p256 (EIP-2844 RPC, JWE not yet implemented) |
Compressed[^2] forms of P-256, P-384, and P-521 are preferred. [^3]
[^1]: The syntax of a did:key is did:key:id
. The did:key id
is the base58btc string
representation of the Uint8Array (byte array)
consisting of the the multicodec name
followed by the public key {raw,uncompressed,compressed}
.
[^2]: Compressed keys are the X coordinate of the public key with a prefix that depends on the sign of the Y curve coordinate. The prefix is '02' if even and '03' if odd.
[^3]: During development there was not yet consensus on using all compressed keys. Support for uncompressed keys with the '04' prefix and raw keys (just the x,y bytes with no prefix) was kept for the P-256 and P-384 curves.
Code
Using with secp256k1 did-key:
import * as KeyDidResolver from 'key-did-resolver'
import {Resolver} from 'did-resolver'
const keyDidResolver = KeyDIDResolver.getResolver()
console.log(keyDidResolver)
const didResolver = new Resolver(keyDidResolver)
const doc = await didResolver.resolve('did:key:z6MktvqCyLxTsXUH1tUZncNdVeEZ7hNh7npPRbUU27GTrYb8')
console.log(doc)
console.log(doc.didDocument.verificationMethod)
Output

The code for other curves is similar. Changing the did:key string is sufficient.

Note: All P-*** curves are compressed
The verification method results are slightly different. Here is a sampling:

Testing
Due to problems with parsing JSON with BigInt, tests need to be run with Jest in Serial mode. Use npm run test -- --runInBand .
