Overview

Affinidi DID Authentication enables basic authentication using a DID and proof that you have access to the secrets to encrypt a server challenge. This can be used for services requiring some form of authentication/authorisation mechanism.

NOTE: There are two implementations of DID Authentication that differ. As a result this library will detect and handle the two implementations in the interim. Once alignment is complete and refactored into Affinidi Messaging and Meeting Place - then this library will be streamlined.
