Bloc-hub is Golang implementation of an DIF Identity Hub.

Introduction

The Identity Hub is performing three distinct functions:

  • Permissioned, object storage API - see the Explainer.
  • Management of the lifecycle of the user’s Agents - see Identity Hub Attestation Flows and Components.
  • DID-based authentication (DID Auth) - see Hub Authentication, did-auth-jose.
    • Similar to OIDC (OpenID Connect), but with Authenticated Encryption and DID resolution to fetch the keys in order to verify the client’s signature on the request.
    • An access token is issued to the client if successfully authenticated.
