DID & DDO	Specification of decentralized identifiers for assets in Ocean Protocol using the DID & DDO standards.	/concepts/did-ddo/	concepts

v4.0.0

Overview

This document describes how Ocean assets follow the DID/DDO specification, such that Ocean assets can inherit DID/DDO benefits and enhance interoperability. DIDs and DDOs follow the specification defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a type of identifier that enable verifiable, decentralized digital identity. Each DID is associated with a unique entity and DIDs may represent humans, objects, and more.

A DID Document (DDO) is a JSON blob that holds information about the DID. Given a DID, a resolver will return the DDO of that DID.

Rules for DIDs & DDOs

An asset in Ocean represents a downloadable file, compute service, or similar. Each asset is a resource under control of a publisher. The Ocean network itself does not store the actual resource (e.g. files).

An asset has a DID and DDO. The DDO should include metadata about the asset, and define access in at least one service. The DDO can only be modified by owners or delegated users.

All DDOs are stored on-chain in encrypted form to be fully GDPR-compatible. A metadata cache like Aquarius can help in reading, decrypting, and searching through encrypted DDO data from the chain. Because the file URLs are encrypted on top of the full DDO encryption, returning unencrypted DDOs e.g. via an API is safe to do as the file URLs will still stay encrypted.

Publishing & Retrieving DDOs

The DDO is stored on-chain as part of the NFT contract, and stored encrypted using the private key of the Provider. To resolve it, a metadata cache like Aquarius must query the provider to decrypt the DDO.

Here is the complete flow:

UML source

title DDO flow

User(Ocean library) -> User(Ocean library): Prepare DDO
User(Ocean library) -> Provider: encrypt DDO
Provider -> User(Ocean library): encryptedDDO
User(Ocean library) -> ERC721 contract: publish encryptedDDO
Aquarius <-> ERC721 contract: monitors ERC721 contract and gets MetdadataCreated Event (contains encryptedDDO)
Aquarius -> ERC721 contract: calls getMetaData()
Aquarius -> Provider: decrypt encryptedDDO, signed request using Aquarius's private key
Provider -> ERC721 contract: checks state using getMetaData()
Provider -> Provider: depending on metadataState (expired,retired) and aquarius address, validates the request
Provider -> Aquarius: DDO
Aquarius -> Aquarius : validate DDO
Aquarius -> Aquarius : cache DDO
Aquarius -> Aquarius : enhance cached DDO in response with additional infos like events & stats

DID

In Ocean, a DID is a string that looks like this:

did:op:0ebed8226ada17fde24b6bf2b95d27f8f05fcce09139ff5cec31f6d81a7cd2ea

The part after did:op: is the the ERC721 contract address(in checksum format) and the chainId (expressed as decimal) the asset has been published to:

const checksum = sha256(ERC721 contract address + chainId)
console.log(checksum)
// 0ebed8226ada17fde24b6bf2b95d27f8f05fcce09139ff5cec31f6d81a7cd2ea

It follows the generic DID scheme.

    "updated": "2021-05-17T21:58:02Z",
    "description": "Sample description",
    "name": "Sample algorithm asset",

    "author": "OPF",
    "license": "https://market.oceanprotocol.com/terms",
    "algorithm": {
      "language": "Node.js",

      }
    }
  }
}

Services

Services define the access for an asset, and each service is represented by its respective datatoken.

An asset should have at least one service to be actually accessible, and can have as many services which make sense for a specific use case.

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	`string`	✓	Unique ID
`type`	`string`	✓	Type of service (`access`, `compute`, `wss`, etc.
`name`	`string`		Service friendly name
`description`	`string`		Service description

`serviceEndpoint`	`string`	✓	Provider URL (schema + host)
`files`	Files	✓	Encrypted file URLs.
`timeout`	`number`	✓	Describing how long the service can be used after consumption is initiated. A timeout of `0` represents no time limit. Expressed in seconds.
`compute`	Compute	✓ (for compute assets only)	If service is of `type` `compute`, holds information about the compute-related privacy settings & resources.

Files

The files field is returned as a string which holds the encrypted file URLs.

Example:

{
  "files": "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"
}

During the publish process, file URLs must be encrypted with a respective Provider API call before storing the DDO on-chain. For this an array of objects defining the storage access details are sent.

Type of objects supported :

Type	Description	Example
'url'	Static URL. Contains url and HTTP method	`[ { "type": "url", "url": "https://url.com/file1.csv", "method": "GET" } ]`

First class integrations supported in the future :

Type	Description	Example
"ipfs"	IPFS files	`[ { "type":"ipfs", "hash": "XXX" } ]`
"filecoin"	Filecoin storage
"arwave"	Arwave
"storj"	Storj
"sql"	Sql connection, dataset is generated by a query

A service can contain multiple files, using multiple storage types.

Example:

[
   {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://url.com/file1.csv",
      "method": "GET"

   },
   {
      "type": "ipfs",
      "hash": "XXXX"
   }
]

To get information about the files after encryption, the /fileinfo endpoint of Provider returns based on a passed DID an array of file metadata (based on the file type):

[
  {
    "type": "url",
    "contentLength": 100,
    "contentType": "application/json"
  },
  {
    "type": "ipfs",
    "contentLength": 130,
    "contentType": "application/text"
  }
]

This only concerns metadata about a file, but never the file URLs. The only way to decrypt them is to exchange at least 1 datatoken based on the respective service pricing scheme.

Compute Options

An asset with a service of type compute has the following additional attributes under the compute object. This object is required if the asset is of type compute, but can be omitted for type of access.

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`namespace`	`string`	✓	Namespace used for the compute job. Defaults to 'ocean-compute'.
`cpus`	`number`		Maximum number of CPUs allocated for a job.
`gpus`	`number`		Maximum number of GPUs allocated for a job.
`gpuType`	`string`		Type of GPU (if any).
`memory`	`string`		Maximum amount of memory allocated for a job. You can express memory as a plain integer or as a fixed-point number using one of these suffixes: E, P, T, G, M, k. You can also use the power-of-two equivalents: Ei, Pi, Ti, Gi, Mi, Ki. For example, the following represent roughly the same value: 128974848, 129e6, 129M, 123Mi.
`volumeSize`	`string`		Amount of disk space allocated. You can express it as a plain integer or as a fixed-point number using one of these suffixes: E, P, T, G, M, k. You can also use the power-of-two equivalents: Ei, Pi, Ti, Gi, Mi, Ki.
`allowRawAlgorithm`	`boolean`	✓	If `true`, any passed raw text will be allowed to run. Useful for an algorithm drag & drop use case, but increases risk of data escape through malicious user input. Should be `false` by default in all implementations.
`allowNetworkAccess`	`boolean`	✓	If `true`, the algorithm job will have network access.
`publisherTrustedAlgorithmPublishers`	Array of `string`	✓	If empty, then any published algorithm is allowed. Otherwise, only published algorithms by some publishers are allowed.
`publisherTrustedAlgorithms`	Array of `publisherTrustedAlgorithms`	✓	If empty, then any published algorithm is allowed. (see below).

The publisherTrustedAlgorithms is an array of objects with the following structure:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`did`	`string`	✓	The DID of the algorithm which is trusted by the publisher.
`filesChecksum`	`string`	✓	Hash of algorithm's `files` section (as `string`).
`containerSectionChecksum`	`string`	✓	Hash of algorithm's `metadata.algorithm.container` section (as `string`).

To produce filesChecksum:

sha256(JSON.Stringify(algorithm_ddo.services[0].files))

To produce containerSectionChecksum:

sha256(JSON.Stringify(algorithm_ddo.metadata.algorithm.container))

Example:

{
  "services": [
    {
      "id": "1",
      "type": "access",
      "files": "0x044736da6dae39889ff570c34540f24e5e084f...",
      "name": "Download service",
      "description": "Download service",
      "datatokenAddress": "0x123",
      "serviceEndpoint": "https://myprovider.com",
      "timeout": 0
    },
    {
      "id": "2",
      "type": "compute",
      "files": "0x6dd05e0edb460623c843a263291ebe757c1eb3...",
      "name": "Compute service",
      "description": "Compute service",

        "namespace": "ocean-compute",
        "cpus": 2,
        "gpus": 4,
        "gpuType": "NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU",
        "memory": "128M",
        "volumeSize": "2G",
        "allowRawAlgorithm": false,
        "allowNetworkAccess": true,
        "publisherTrustedAlgorithmPublishers": ["0x234", "0x235"],
        "publisherTrustedAlgorithms": [
          {
            "did": "did:op:123",
            "filesChecksum": "100",
            "containerSectionChecksum": "200"
          },
          {
            "did": "did:op:124",
            "filesChecksum": "110",
            "containerSectionChecksum": "210"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Credentials

By default, a consumer can access a resource if they have 1 datatoken. Credentials allow the publisher to optionally specify more fine-grained permissions.

Consider a medical data use case, where only a credentialed EU researcher can legally access a given dataset. Ocean supports this as follows: a consumer can only access the resource if they have 1 datatoken and one of the specified "allow" credentials.

This is like going to an R-rated movie, where you can only get in if you show both your movie ticket (datatoken) and some identification showing you're old enough (credential).

Only credentials that can be proven are supported. This includes Ethereum public addresses, and in the future W3C Verifiable Credentials and more.

Ocean also supports "deny" credentials: if a consumer has any of these credentials, they can not access the resource.

Here's an example object with both "allow" and "deny" entries:

{
  "credentials": {
    "allow": [
      {
        "type": "address",
        "values": ["0x123", "0x456"]
      }
    ],
    "deny": [
      {
        "type": "address",
        "values": ["0x2222", "0x333"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

DDO Checksum

In order to ensure the integrity of the DDO, a checksum is computed for each DDO:

const checksum = sha256(JSON.stringify(ddo))

The checksum hash is used when publishing/updating metadata using the setMetaData function in the ERC721 contract, and is stored in the event generated by the ERC721 contract:

event MetadataCreated(
  address indexed createdBy,
  uint8 state,
  string decryptorUrl,
  bytes flags,
  bytes data,
  bytes metaDataHash,
  uint256 timestamp,
  uint256 blockNumber
);

event MetadataUpdated(
  address indexed updatedBy,
  uint8 state,
  string decryptorUrl,
  bytes flags,
  bytes data,
  bytes metaDataHash,
  uint256 timestamp,
  uint256 blockNumber
);

Aquarius should always verify the checksum after data is decrypted via a Provider API call.

State

Each asset has a state, which is held by the NFT contract. The possible states are:

State	Description
`0`	Active.
`1`	End-of-life.
`2`	Deprecated (by another asset).
`3`	Revoked by publisher.
`4`	Ordering is temporary disabled.

Aquarius Enhanced DDO Response

The following fields are added by Aquarius in its DDO response for convenience reasons, where an asset returned by Aquarius inherits the DDO fields stored on-chain.

These additional fields are never stored on-chain, and are never taken into consideration when hashing the DDO.
