Decentralized identity identifiers (DID)

Concept

Implement support for decentralized identifiers (see Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 ) that are used by a lot of projects around the ecosystem.

Format

did:massa:AU12Vi9V6Fsq9HMh9ge88WJ5cgymBGc3oUX2F6WpRqA5HdabPcPt5

where AU12Vi9V6Fsq9HMh9ge88WJ5cgymBGc3oUX2F6WpRqA5HdabPcPt5 is the user address

Smart contract

Create a smart contract that provides a CRUD-like interface for externally owned accounts to create and update a publicly available JSON associated to their account and signed by their key.

The smart contract needs to only allow the right public key owner to update their own DID JSON document.

Resolver

An external program (typically wrapped as a javascript library) allows resolving a DID identifier by querying the smart contract on-chain, then checking the integrity and signature matching of the returned JSON.

It is a great idea. I can’t wait to test the implementation. When should we expect the beta version for testing?
