DIDKit

DIDKit provides Verifiable Credential and Decentralized Identifier functionality across different platforms. It was written primarily in Rust due to Rust's expressive type system, memory safety, simple dependency web, and suitability across different platforms including embedded systems. DIDKit embeds the ssi library, which contains the core functionality.

Install

Manual

DIDKit is written in Rust. To get Rust, you can use Rustup.

Spruce's ssi library must be cloned alongside the didkit repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/spruceid/ssi ../ssi --recurse-submodules

Build DIDKit using Cargo:

$ cargo build

That will give you the DIDKit CLI executable located at target/debug/didkit. You can also build and install DIDKit's components separately. Building the FFI libraries will require additional dependencies. See the corresponding readmes linked below for more info.

Usage

DIDKit can be used in any of the following ways:

• CLI - didkit command-line program
• HTTP - HTTP server (Rust library and CLI program)
• FFI - libraries for C, Java, Android, and Dart/Flutter
