Advanced Features

Key Rotation

Rotate keys securely with cryptographic proof of ownership.

from udna_sdk import UdnaSDK

sdk = UdnaSDK()
did = sdk.create_did()

# Create address before rotation
addr1 = sdk.create_address(did.did, flags=["messaging"])

# Rotate keys
result = sdk.rotate_keys(did.did, reason="regular_rotation")
print(f"Rotation successful: {result.success}")
print(f"Old key: {result.old_key_fingerprint}")
print(f"New key: {result.new_key_fingerprint}")

# Create address after rotation (still valid)
addr2 = sdk.create_address(did.did, flags=["messaging"])

# Both addresses remain verifiable
assert sdk.verify_address(addr1.address).is_valid
assert sdk.verify_address(addr2.address).is_valid

Identity Export and Import

Export identities for backup, migration, or secure storage.

# Export to JSON
udna export "did:key:z6Mkk..." --output backup.json

# Export to PEM (raw private key)
udna export "did:key:z6Mkk..." --output key.pem --format pem

# Python API
sdk = UdnaSDK()

# Export
did = sdk.create_did()
sdk.export_identity(did.did, "backup.json")

# Import in new instance
sdk2 = UdnaSDK()
imported = sdk2.import_identity("backup.json")
print(f"Imported: {imported.did}")

Pairwise DIDs

Create relationship-specific DIDs for privacy.

sdk = UdnaSDK()
my_did = sdk.create_did()
peer_did = "did:key:z6MknVNjGKcWuUoxFXKmg29XV5RHkmx7gVvoYLGS8Qt4uACp"

# Create pairwise DID for this relationship only
pairwise = sdk.create_pairwise_did(my_did.did, peer_did)
print(f"Pairwise DID: {pairwise.did}")

# Use pairwise DID for all communications with this peer
address = sdk.create_address(pairwise.did, flags=["messaging"])

Secure Messaging with Noise Protocol

Establish encrypted communication channels using the Noise protocol.

# Alice and Bob create their identities
alice = UdnaSDK()
bob = UdnaSDK()
alice_did = alice.create_did()
bob_did = bob.create_did()

# Alice initiates secure session
session = alice.initiate_secure_session(alice_did.did, bob_did.did)
print(f"Session ID: {session.session_id}")

# Encrypt and send message
encrypted = alice.encrypt_message(session.session_id, "Hello Bob, this is secret!")

# Bob decrypts (session establishment would complete the handshake)
# decrypted = bob.decrypt_message(session.session_id, encrypted)

Persistent Storage Directory

Configure a storage directory for automatic identity persistence.

# CLI usage
udna create --storage ./identities
udna list --storage ./identities

# Python API
sdk = UdnaSDK(storage_dir="./identities")

# Identities are automatically saved
did = sdk.create_did()

# Later, list all stored identities
identities = sdk.list_identities()
print(f"Stored: {identities}")

---

Examples

Batch Identity Creation

from udna_sdk import UdnaSDK
import json

sdk = UdnaSDK(storage_dir="./identities")
identities = []

for i in range(10):
    did = sdk.create_did()
    address = sdk.create_address(did.did, flags=["messaging"])
    identities.append({
        "index": i,
        "did": did.did,
        "address": address.address
    })

with open("batch_identities.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(identities, f, indent=2)

Verification with Error Handling

from udna_sdk import UdnaSDK

sdk = UdnaSDK()
result = sdk.verify_address(address_string)

if result.is_valid:
    print(f"Address belongs to DID: {result.did}")
    print(f"Verified at: {result.verified_at}")
else:
    print(f"Verification failed: {result.error}")

Custom Facet Configuration

from udna_sdk import UdnaSDK

sdk = UdnaSDK()
did = sdk.create_did()

# Control facet (0x01) - Management
control = sdk.create_address(did.did, facet_id=0x01)
print(f"Control: {control.address[:30]}...")

# Messaging facet (0x02) - Communication
messaging = sdk.create_address(
    did.did,
    facet_id=0x02,
    flags=["messaging", "routing"]
)
print(f"Messaging: {messaging.address[:30]}...")

# Telemetry facet (0x03) - Analytics
telemetry = sdk.create_address(did.did, facet_id=0x03)
print(f"Telemetry: {telemetry.address[:30]}...")

Complete Identity Lifecycle

from udna_sdk import UdnaSDK

# 1. Initialize with storage
sdk = UdnaSDK(storage_dir="./identities")

# 2. Create identity
did = sdk.create_did()
print(f"Created: {did.did}")

# 3. Export backup
sdk.export_identity(did.did, "backup.json")

# 4. Create addresses
address1 = sdk.create_address(did.did, flags=["messaging"])
address2 = sdk.create_address(did.did, facet_id=0x03)

# 5. Rotate keys periodically
result = sdk.rotate_keys(did.did, reason="regular_rotation")
print(f"Keys rotated: {result.success}")

# 6. Verify all addresses remain valid
assert sdk.verify_address(address1.address).is_valid
assert sdk.verify_address(address2.address).is_valid

# 7. List stored identities
print(f"Stored: {sdk.list_identities()}")

Architecture

The SDK implements the following specifications:

• W3C DID Core 1.0 - Decentralized Identifier specification
• did:key Method - Cryptographic key-based DIDs
• did:web Method - Web-based DIDs
• Ed25519 - Digital signatures for authentication
• Base58 - Encoding for addresses and keys
• Noise Protocol - Secure channel establishment

Address Structure

A UDNA address is a binary structure containing:

Field	Size	Description
Version	1 byte	Protocol version (1)
DID Type	1 byte	Method identifier (0x01 for did:key)
DID Length	2 bytes	Length of DID string
DID	variable	Full DID string
Key Hint	1 byte + variable	Truncated key fingerprint
Route Hint	1 byte + variable	Routing information
Flags	2 bytes	Behavioral flags bitmask
Nonce	8 bytes	64-bit random value
Signature	2 bytes + variable	Ed25519 signature

DID Resolution Flow

1. Check local cache for DID document
2. If not cached, resolve using method-specific resolver
3. Cache document with TTL (default 3600 seconds)
4. Return DID document for verification

Cryptographic Verification

1. Decode base58 address to bytes
2. Parse binary structure
3. Extract DID and signature
4. Resolve DID document to get public key
5. Recreate message without signature
6. Verify Ed25519 signature
7. Return verification result

Key Rotation Flow

1. Generate new key pair
2. Create rotation proof signed by old key
3. Update DID document with new key
4. Store rotation proof for audit
5. Return new key fingerprint

---

Security

Key Management

Private keys are stored in memory only during SDK instance lifetime.

# Keys are automatically managed
sdk = UdnaSDK()
did = sdk.create_did()  # Key stored internally
address = sdk.create_address(did.did)  # Key used for signing

# Key is lost when SDK instance is destroyed
del sdk

For persistent storage, use export functionality:

# Export for secure storage
sdk.export_identity(did.did, "secure_backup.json", format="json")

# Store the file in a secure location, not in code

Signature Verification

All UDNA addresses are cryptographically signed. The SDK automatically:

1. Extracts public key from DID document
2. Recreates the signed message
3. Verifies the Ed25519 signature
4. Returns verification result

Best Practices

• Always verify addresses before trusting them
• Store private keys securely, never in code
• Use different facets for different services
• Rotate keys periodically
• Enable logging in production for audit trails
• Use pairwise DIDs for relationship-specific privacy
• Export and backup identities regularly

Rotation Reasons

Reason	Code	Use Case
regular_rotation	1	Scheduled key rotation
compromised	2	Key compromise suspected
expired	3	Key lifetime exceeded
