# DID Document Management

The Issuer Service manages the issuer’s DID Document lifecycle automatically:

* **Automated Creation and Registration**:\
  Generates a DID Document and anchors it to the EMPE Blockchain upon deployment, ensuring trust and public resolvability.
* **No Manual Intervention Needed**:\
  DID creation and updates occur behind the scenes.
* **Future Enhancements**:
  * **Key Rotation**: Ability to rotate cryptographic keys without downtime.
  * **Service Endpoint Updates**: Update DID Documents to reflect new endpoints or verification methods.

**Retrieve DID Configuration**:

```bash
GET /.well-known/did-configuration
```

**Example Response**:

```json
{
  "entries": [
    {
      "did": "did:empe:testnet:44bebd23a0...",
      "jwt": "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1Nk..."
    }
  ]
}
```

This endpoint returns DID metadata and domain linkage credentials, adhering to the service’s Swagger specification.
