Supported DID methods

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a foundational component of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) that enable secure and verifiable identification without relying on centralized authorities. The Truvity platform currently supports the following DID methods:

  • did:web
    DIDs using the did:web method are generated from web domains. This method is well-suited for scenarios where entities wish to leverage existing domain infrastructure to create decentralized identifiers. The did:web method provides a convenient way to integrate DIDs into existing web architectures. For more information, refer to the did:web specification.

  • did:key
    DIDs using the did:key method are cryptographically derived from public keys. This method is suitable for use cases requiring lightweight, self-contained, and privacy-preserving identifiers. The did:key method is particularly useful when no external hosting infrastructure is needed. For more information, refer to the did:key specification.
