[PROPOSAL]: Adopt DID-KR Key Recovery Extension as a CCG Work Item

Dear CCG Members,

Two weeks ago I shared the draft specification for *DID-KR: Key Recovery
Extension for Decentralized Identifiers* for community review and feedback.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to review the proposal and
contribute to the discussion. The feedback from members of the group has
been very helpful in refining the direction of the specification and
validating the problem space around decentralized identity key recovery.

The DID-KR proposal introduces a recovery verification relationship for DID
Documents and specifies multiple recovery mechanisms, including:

• Social guardian-based recovery using verifiable secret sharing and
zero-knowledge proofs
• Deterministic seed-based recovery mechanisms
• MPC-mediated recovery suitable for enterprise or infrastructure
deployments

The goal of the specification is to provide a standardized and
interoperable approach to recovering control of decentralized identifiers
when private keys are lost, while maintaining the self-sovereign principles
of decentralized identity.

The draft specification and issue tracker are currently hosted at Issues ·
sirraya-labs/did-kr <https://github.com/sirraya-labs/did-kr> and are open
for community participation and contributions.

Specification repository:
https://github.com/sirraya-labs/did-kr

Given the discussion and the interest expressed in exploring
implementations, I would like to formally propose that the *DID-KR Key
Recovery Extension* be adopted as a work item of the Credentials Community
Group.

I would be happy to serve as editor for the specification and coordinate
with members of the community interested in reviewing, improving, or
experimenting with implementations of the proposal.

Implementers and contributors interested in exploring prototype
implementations or interoperability considerations are very welcome to
participate.

Thank you again to the community for the constructive feedback and
discussion.

Best regards,

Amir Hameed Mir
