Public Key

Serialization

PublicKey object serialization MUST conform to the following Avro schema:

{
    "namespace": "org.dsnp",
    "name": "PublicKey",
    "type": "record",
    "fields": [
        {
            "name": "publicKey",
            "type": "bytes",
            "doc": "Multicodec public key"
        }
    ]
}

Generation

publicKey

• MUST be a public key of an allowed key type for the associated User Data type, encoded in multicodec format

The byte encoding consists of a multicodec key identifier (as a varint) followed by the public key’s binary data in the codec’s described format.
