Overview of components

Wallet DID public key​

The wallet DID public key is associated with the DID. It is visible to anyone and is used during document verification. When the documents are issued using DID, the corresponding DID private key along with the merkleRoot are used to obtain the document signature.

DNS records​

A domain is required to issue an OA document. A DNS record must be inserted to the DNS to assert the identity of the OA document creator.

Verifiable document file​

A Verifiable Document File is also known as the OA document. Machine-readable data of the OA document is stored in a .json file. In addition to the data, these .json files also contain information such as:

  • claim of issuer's identity
  • document rendering information
  • DID signature proof

Decentralized renderer​

The decentralized renderer gives the OA document a human-readable look. It is essentially a website which will take an OA document data as input and display the document in a web view. Using this feature, any user can style their document without submitting code change to another party.
