DID Registry

Hypersign Decentralized Identifiers (Hypersign DID) comply W3C DID specification and is built on top of Hypersign Identity Blockchain Network. It implements Hypersign DID scheme (did:hid).

Note: did:hid DID scheme is yet to be officially registered on W3C DID registry.

Decentralised Identifiers are cryptographically-verifiable identifiers which are stored on a decentralised ledger, which enables users to own and manage their ID.

Syntax of did:hid method

The did:hid method are as follows:

did                = "did:" method-name ":" [chain-namespace] ":" method-specific-id
method-name        = "hid"
chain-namespace    = ALPHA / DIGIT
method-specific-id = Minimum 32 Length alphanumeric string
id-char            = ALPHA / DIGIT

Description of ID segments

• did - Document Identifier of DID Document

• hid - Method name

• <chain-namespace> - (Optional) Name of the blockchain where the VC status is registered. It is omitted for the document registered on mainnet chain

• <method-specific-id> - Alpha-numeric string of minimum 32 character length

Supported Digital Signature Algorithms

• ed25519

• secp256k1

Supported DID Method Operations

The did:hid method supports the following operations:

• Transaction Based:

  • Register a DID document

  • Update a DID document

  • Deactivate a DID document

• Query Based:

  • Query DID Document(s)
