Spruce Developer Update #17

At Spruce, we’re letting users control their identity and data across the web. Here’s the latest from our development efforts:

Sign-In with Ethereum

Sign-In with Ethereum is a new form of authentication that enables users to control their digital identity with their Ethereum account and ENS profile instead of relying on a traditional intermediary. We recently posted a SIWE-specific February recap that can be found here:

Sign-In with Ethereum - February Updates
Sign-In with Ethereum offers a new self-custodial option for users who wish to assume more control and responsibility over their own digital identity.

Additionally, Sign-In with Ethereum can now be used on Auth0, which leverages our OIDC Identity Provider Server:

Sign-in with Ethereum Integration with Auth0
Sign-in with Ethereum - Enables users to sign-in with their Ethereum wallet

More additional content and details on this integration will be released soon.

Kepler

Kepler is a decentralized storage network organized around data overlays called Orbits. Kepler allows users to Securely share their digital credentials, private files, and sensitive media to blockchain accounts, all using a Web3 wallet.

  • We've begun work on cryptoscript: A DSL (domain-specific language) for managing complex signatures and permissions in Kepler (cryptoscript #2)
  • The cutover for Kepler from ipfs-embed to rust-ipfs is complete.
  • Patches to our kepler-staging branch of rust-ipfs are complete. We will continue to raise PRs for these changes upstream.
  • We're currently in the process of leveraging DIDKit and our existing experience with DIDs to design Kepler's Orbit Manifests, responsible for safely managing permissions and Orbits.

SpruceID

SpruceID is a decentralized identity toolkit that provides everything you need for signing, sharing, and verifying trusted information.

DIDKit

  • We published didkit v0.4.0, didkit-cli v0.2.0, didkit-http v0.2.0 (didkit #269).
  • We published did-ion v0.1.0 and updates to other DID method crates (ssi #403).
