DIDs

Create and manage DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers), a type of globally unique identifier for an entity. The DID is a URI that can be resolved to a DID document which offers metadata about the identified entity.

Because a DID is created in association with a public/private key pair, the controller of the private key is able to prove control of the DID and thus authenticate themselves.

A DID is needed to issue credentials, request a proof, and verify credentials.
