Full Title
Sidetree is a spec for a collection of Distributed ID methods that uses IPFS to guarantee uniqueness of a DID.
Context
Microsoft started to build Sidetree as the backing for the Ion DID method to improve responsiveness to reads and writes of ID data.
Problems
- As of 2020-11-15 the Sidetree spec did not guarantee that an old key used for signing or encryptions would be available from any of their methods.
- As of 2020-11-15 the IPFS implementations were at Alpha release level and not recommended for production use.
