The Identity document is stored on IPFS and tied to the address using the uport registry as specified in the PKI document.
The Identity document is a JSON document (strictly speaking a JSON-LD).
The Identity document must contain the public key for the identity, everything else is optional. Anything in this document is public, so please be wary of publishing any Private information to it.
This is an example of a minimal identity document:
{
"@context":"http://schema.org",
"@type":"Person",
"publicKey":"0x04613bb3a4874d27032618f020614c21cbe4c4e4781687525f6674089f9bd3d6c7f6eb13569053d31715a3ba32e0b791b97922af6387f087d6b5548c06944ab062",
"publicEncKey":"QCFPBLm5pwmuTOu+haxv0+Vpmr6Rrz/DEEvbcjktQnQ="
}This is a example of a identity document for an app with extra public profile information:
{
"@context":"http://schema.org",
"@type":"Organization",
"name":"uPort @ Devcon 3",
"description":"Uport Attestations","publicKey":"0x04613bb3a4874d27032618f020614c21cbe4c4e4781687525f6674089f9bd3d6c7f6eb13569053d31715a3ba32e0b791b97922af6387f087d6b5548c06944ab062",
