pathing

Definition

It was designed send to sign portions of a credential. Designed for complex cases like

• a credential embedded in another credential
• multiple signers, only signing portions of a credential (partial signing)

In these cases we provide a path (using SAD path language) to what is signed. We have never used it for credentials, however we do need it for forwarding in KERI embedded messages - see video discussion.

Important

We don't sign our credentials, you shouldn't either!
