Overview

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a key component of decentralized identity systems, enabling users to control their digital identities without relying on a centralized authority. The DID PRISM method specification specifies a DID method that conforms to the W3C DID specification. DID PRISM Resolution refers to the process of retrieving the corresponding DID Document for a given PRISM DID. This document contains the public keys, authentication methods, service endpoints, and other metadata required to interact with the subject identified by the DID.

Cloud Agent and Prism Node

The Prism-Node is a microservice that exposes gRPC endpoint and implements DID PRISM operations, allowing users to create, update, deactivate, and resolve DIDs in a secure and privacy-preserving manner. The DID PRISM resolver is a component that interacts with the Prism-Node to retrieve the current state of a DID and its associated DID Document. The Cloud Agent can serve as a DID PRISM resolver, allowing users to resolve DIDs and retrieve their associated DID Documents.

Universal Resolver

The DID PRISM can also be resolved via the Universal Resolver, which is a service that provides a unified interface for resolving DIDs across different DID methods.

SDK

This documentation provides an in-depth guide to the DID PRISM resolution process, including its architecture, resolution flow, components, and how it integrates with decentralized identity ecosystems. Whether you're building identity-enabled applications or integrating DID support into your systems, this overview will help you understand how DID PRISM resolves DIDs and retrieves trusted identity data.
