Protocolo de Identidade Atributos
Origens A data-sharing agreement protocol. FedID is a separate identity system, a different technology: its own pages describe it as 'FedID from JLINC' and say its DID Document 'is based on the JLINC format for decentralized identifiers', using did:jlinc DIDs
Banco de Dados The Go reference DID server (didserver) uses PostgreSQL 9.6 or later; the protocol itself does not require a database
Linguagem de Consulta N/A: a signed-message protocol; no query language
Formatos de Dados JSON-LD agreement and audit records, EdDSA JWTs (RFC 7519), JSON Canonicalization (RFC 8785); optional compatibility with W3C Verifiable Credentials 2.0
Suporte Móvel Not stated by the project.
Suporte Web Not stated by the project.
Aplicativos Nativos None stated for the protocol
Termos Mixed code licences (Apache-2.0, MIT, some unstated); the company's on-prem product is licensed under SSPLv1; commercial terms are not published
Fundos Not stated by the project.
Baseado Em W3C DID Core, JSON-LD 1.1, JWS and JWT (RFC 7515 and 7519), JSON Canonicalization (RFC 8785); the DID method draws on ideas from ActivityPub, did:web and KERI
Permissões Mixed: jlinx Apache-2.0; jlinc-did-client and jlinc-jwt MIT; jlinc-node and didserver state no licence; on-prem product under SSPLv1
Autenticação e Identidade Agreements must be signed with a private key that represents the parties' DIDs; the signing key should be controlled by the end user and may be delegated to an agent; the DID document can list a login service
Modelo de Armazenamento Each party keeps its own signed agreement record, and a signed hash of it goes to an audit record; audit records can be kept on designated archive servers
Interoperabilidade Medium: W3C DID Core, a W3C-compatible option for verifiable credentials, and integrations the company lists (AuthZEN, LangChain, vCon)
Portabilidade de Dados Not stated by the project.
Governança e Tomada de Decisão Company-controlled; the protocol page lists its authors and no standards process or change-control body is described
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo Company specification (protocol Version 10, undated; DID method specification version 2, 10 January 2025); not submitted to a standards body
Padrões de Identidade W3C DID Core; the JLINC DID method specification (did:jlinc, version 2); JSON-LD 1.1; EdDSA JWT; optional W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0 compatibility
Padrões de Identidade - Lista
Métodos DID Suportados did:jlinc (syntax did:jlinc:host:id, where the id is derived from a SHA-256 hash of the inception controller's public key and the recovery hash); the protocol's own examples use did:service, which no fetched source defines
Gestão de Chaves Ed25519 signing and controller keys; private keys must be held securely and never sent over the network; recovery keys are to be kept offline until needed; key rotation uses the recovery key
Tipos de Credenciais Signed agreements (Verifiable Contractual Agreements) and signed audit records; an optional mapping to W3C Verifiable Credentials
Tipos de Credenciais - Lista
Método de Verificação Signatures on agreements verified against the parties' DID documents; the audit record holds a signed hash of the agreed record rather than a formal zero-knowledge proof
Recursos de Privacidade The DID method recommends a new pair-wise DID per relationship; audit records are designed to hold no sensitive or identifiable data
Métodos de Autenticação DID-based signatures; the DID document can list a login service; the company site cites AuthZEN for fine-grained access control
Mecanismo de Revogação A DID can be deactivated (irreversible) and keys rotated with the recovery key; the protocol itself has no revocation section
Tipos de Agentes Suportados People and services; a key may be owned by an agent when delegated; the company site mentions LangChain and vCon integrations
Tipos de Carteira/Cliente Not stated by the project; client libraries are published for JavaScript (jlinc-did-client, jlinc-jwt, jlinc-zcap, did-web-auth)
Mecanismos de Recuperação A recovery key (held offline) authorizes key rotation; its hash is part of the DID
Conformidade / Regulamentações The company claims support for SOX, HIPAA and GAAP and legally admissible compliance records; GDPR is not stated on the pages read
Protocolos de Troca de Credenciais The JLINC protocol (signed agreement and audit-record exchange between parties); an optional Verifiable Credentials mapping
Estrutura de Confiança Trust rests on the parties' signed agreements and the audit trail of hashes; no formal trust framework is stated
Modelo de Custo Not stated by the project; the company offers a commercial on-prem product and hosted services
Resistência à Censura Not stated by the project.
