Identity

JavaScript and TypeScript module to manage Identities and enable simple Web Authentication flows for applications on the Internet Computer

Usage

import { ECDSAKeyIdentity, Ed25519KeyIdentity, WebAuthnIdentity } from '@icp-sdk/core/identity';

const ecdsaIdentity = await ECDSAKeyIdentity.generate();
const ed25519Identity = Ed25519KeyIdentity.generate();
const webAuthnIdentity = await WebAuthnIdentity.create();

DelegationIdentity

The DelegationIdentity is typically generated using the @icp-sdk/auth package.

PartialIdentity

The PartialIdentity is not typically used directly, but is used by the DelegationIdentity and WebAuthnIdentity classes.

AttributesIdentity

The AttributesIdentity is an Identity decorator that injects sender_info into the request content. It wraps any other identity and adds signed attributes before the inner identity signs the request.

In Node.js

Depending on your version, you may need to use a polyfill and set global.crypto in a setup file. If you prefer, you can also pass in a subtleCrypto implementation in methods that call for it, either as a direct argument, or in a cryptoOptions object.
