Research

A resolution-only Gatekeeper: instead of trusting a resolver's answer, the driver fetches the DID's full signed operation chain and re-verifies every operation (CIDv1 linkage + secp256k1 signatures) before composing the document — the Gatekeeper is a courier, not an authority. A DIF Recommended method.
