Fabric Identity

This document is intended to be utilized as the specification for the Fabric Identity Protocol.

Overview

The Fabric Identity Protocol is a decentralized identifier for Fabric-speaking networks.

  1. Load a BIP44 HD tree
  2. Designate First Identity as Derivation Path: m/44'/7777'/0'/0/0
  3. m = sha256(derived_pubkey)
  4. id = bech32m("id", m) // "id" taken as ASCII bytes

Full Specification

id = bech32m("id", sha256(bip44(derivation_path, hd_tree).public))

An Example Fabric Identity:

Pubkey:
ID:

HTTP Requests

Send authenticated HTTP requests with the following headers:

X-Fabric-Identity: <id> # should be in form id
X-Fabric-ECDSA: <public key for identity above>
X-Fabric-Signature: <signature(m)> where m = HTTP Request Body (utf8)

Bridging

Identities from external networks can be "attested" to within Fabric.

Labels

For example, Discord users may run the !fabric assert <pubkey> command in any room an attestation bot is present:

martindale: !fabric assert 
ExampleBot: Please run `fabric prove feebadee` and provide the output signature to the command: `!fabric prove <signature>`
martindale: !fabric prove feba3b56b1ebadb3b691b124bb3
ExampleBot: Your Discord identity has been confirmed!
