DIDs: alsoKnownAs property

The alsoKnownAs property has been added to the DID spec recently. It’s basically a string array of some identifiers (URIs) by which the DID subject can also be identified. (see the corresponding section in w3c did-core)

I was wondering whether it is planned to include that in daf-ethr-did too?

Possible implementation Could be done building upon the setAttribute method of the ethr-did-registry, e.g. did/aka + hex encoded string. Similar to the other methods in daf-ethr-dids identity-provider (beta-branch) it would just be something like async addAlsoKnownAs({ identity, service, options }: { identity: IIdentity; alsoKnownAs: string; options?: any }, context: IContext): Promise<any>

What’s your opinion on that? (Should I also mention that in ethr-did-resolver somehow?)

Do you have an estimation when the beta-branch will be merged? (Thinking about whether it makes sense to include that in the current version or just go for beta-branch).

EDIT: maybe someone could remove the bug label and add something like feature or feature-request…

Still an open issue that should be worked on IMO

Yes, it is. We’re waiting for the DID spec to become a bit more stable before committing to this.
