Types

type ID

type ID struct {
	crypto.PubKey
}

ID is a DID:key identifier

func NewID

func NewID(pub crypto.PubKey) (ID, error)

NewID constructs an Identifier from a public key

func Parse

func Parse(keystr string) (ID, error)

Parse turns a string into a key method ID

func (ID) MulticodecType

func (id ID) MulticodecType() uint64

MulticodecType indicates the type for this multicodec

func (ID) String

func (id ID) String() string

String returns this did:key formatted as a string

func (ID) VerifyKey

func (id ID) VerifyKey() (interface{}, error)

VerifyKey returns the backing implementation for a public key, one of: *rsa.PublicKey, ed25519.PublicKey
