Sign documents

After wrapping the documents and obtaining the merkle root(s), you can sign them with the ether DID you created. During signing, each document's merkle root is signed individually, with the proof of their signatures appended.

Signing the documents

open-attestation sign ./wrapped-documents-did --od ./signed-documents-did --public-key did:ethr:0xaCc51f664D647C9928196c4e33D46fd98FDaA91D#controller --key 0x7b227ac59116f3eeb2b265422cf3cbfbd244c525961fb297eb52153ec62aa845

In the example above:

• public-key is the public key used to bind the wallet address with the DNS location.
• key is the wallet private key, generated when creating the wallet.

✔  success   Signed documents saved to ./signed-documents-did

Verifying the documents

Head to dev.opencerts.io. Drag and drop one of the wrapped documents. After being verified, the document will display.

🎉 Congratulations. You have completed the tutorial to create your own Verifiable Document.
