align better with KERI and provide better upgrade path for did:key #120

Closed dhh1128 closed 4 years ago

dhh1128 commented 4 years ago

Provide a new numeric algorithm which is just the simplest self-certifying behavior that KERI has advocated, and which is essentially the same thing as did:key. This allows a did:key to be upgraded to a did:peer by simply rewriting its prefix, and to then have an upgrade path to a dynamic, updateable DID with endpoints and full DID doc support, by exchanging deltas.

Hoping one day we can do something similar with sidetree based methods :)
