Implementation of Hedera DID Spec 0.9 (HIP-27) #26

Open derek-meeco opened 5 months ago

Description:

This update was completed in Mar 2022 to align the Java SDK with the Hedera DID Method v0.9 defined at the time.

This updated specification for the Hedera Hashgraph DID Method aligns with the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 W3C Recommendation, published 19 July 2022.

The specification allows for DID resolution via construction of DID document elements from HCS messages, but not from lookup of DID document from IPFS via a CID reference registered via a HCS message.

This is part of HIP-27: DID improvements to offer a broader support and interoperability for the Hedera DID method

Notes for reviewer:

This version is based on the packages at the time, and has not been updated since.
