pathing

Definition​

It was designed to sign portions of a credential aimed at complex cases like

  • a credential embedded in another credential
  • multiple signers, only signing portions of a credential (partial signing)

More​

In these cases, we provide a path (using SAD path language) to what is signed. We have never used it for credentials, however we do need it for forwarding in KERI embedded messages - see video discussion.

Important​

We don't sign our credentials, you shouldn't either!
