DidDht

class DidDht(val uri: String, val keyManager: KeyManager, val didDocument: DidDocument? = null)

Provides a specific implementation for creating and resolving "did:dht" method Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

A "did:dht" DID is a special type of DID that is based on an identity key, but can be extended to contain other keys, services, and other DID Document properties. It relies upon Distributed Hash Table (DHT) provided by the BitTorrent network, and an intermediary layer called Pkarr (Public Key Addressable Records) to store and retrieve the DID Document.
