Advanced tools
Minimal cryptographic identity and content verification for decentralized apps
$ yarn add @eotl/simple-signed-records
For basic functionality, include the SSR
modules in your code:
import { ssr } from 'simple-signed-records'
ssr.sign({ record, keypair });
To offer user-friendly identity functionality (via a "seed phrase"), you should also expose
the ssrIdentity
method.
import { ssr, ssrIdentity } from 'simple-signed-records'
To create new account keys, do the following
const identity = ssrIdentity.createIdentity()
To restore an account from 16 word seed, do the following
const identity = ssrIdentity.restoreIdentity(words)
To create a SSR use the following code
const record = { ... }
const validSeconds = 15778800
let secretKey = decodeBase64(secretKey)
let publicKey = decodeBase64(publicKey)
let signedData = ssr.sign({
record,
keypair: { secretKey, publicKey },
validSeconds,
});
Tbw...
To generate a certificate for GET requests, use the following
const certificate = ssrIdentity.generateCert(identity);
