Yes: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/did-method-key-js with a minimal test: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/did-method-key-js/blob/master/tests/driver.spec.js Orie (Transmute) has also put together an implementation here: https://github.com/transmute-industries/did-key with a demo here: https://did-key.web.app/ > The above JSON gives syntax errors (even after removing the "..." > parts) Yes, I was just providing a rough sketch of how we could achieve what Orie was asking for... it wasn't meant to be a fully baked working example since it speculates on where the DID WG might land on whether or not to allow two parallel key expressions for the same key (base58 and JWK, for example). > But controller doesnt seem to be explained anywhere in that > document. Yes, the document is out of date... things are moving quickly in the DID WG and we're trying to see where things settle before putting something permanently into the Linked Data Security vocabulary/context. We've found in the past that when we add stuff that's experimental, and note that it's experimental, that developers end up relying on it and then we can't remove the experimental stuff... ever. So, the published vocabularies and JSON-LD Contexts are usually the *last* thing to get updated... typically during CR. In the meantime, we publish static copies of the documents via stuff like: https://github.com/w3c-dvcg/security-vocab/blob/master/contexts/security-v2.jsonld#L39 which is published here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/security-context That package can be npm installed and then used with the JSON-LD document loader mechanism to automatically load the latest security context, example here: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/bedrock-security-context/blob/master/lib/index.js#L7 Hope that helps... don't expect all of this stuff to be production ready yet... we're putting these items into the group early in the process so that we can work out the kinks together. We've used it internally, we're pretty sure it works for our use cases, we still need to see if others in this group can find issues with the proposal and see if they have other use cases they want the spec to cover. Expect the spec and design to change over the next couple of months. :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
