Create an organization profile (DID)

In Truvera, an organization profile describes an entity that is interacting with credential holders. The core of an organization profile is a DID that maps to the keys used to issue credentials and prove participation in an ecosystem. The profile also contains a name, logo, and description which helps credential holders and ecosystem participants to recognize the organization.

What is a DID?

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are unique identifiers that are associated with a digital identity. DIDs are made up of a string of letters and numbers that can be stored on the blockchain and can be used to authenticate that identity by referencing public keys. Issuers use DIDs to publish the keys used to verify credentials, and verifiers use DIDs to prove ecosystem membership.

Choosing a DID type

Many different types of DIDs exist today, they all support the same basic functionality, but they differ in how a DID is created or where and how the DID document is stored and retrieved.These different types of DIDs are known as DID methods. The second part of the DID identifier format—between the first and second colons—is called the DID method name.

Truvera supports 2 types of DID methods did:key and did:cheqd.
