VerificationMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public final class VerificationMethod

                    
```
VerificationMethod expresses verification methods, such as cryptographic public keys, which can be used to authenticate or authorize interactions with the DID subject or associated parties. For example, a cryptographic public key can be used as a verification method with respect to a digital signature; in such usage, it verifies that the signer could use the associated cryptographic private key.

```
- Method Detail
  - getId
```
 final String getId()
```
    id of the VerificationMethod
  - getType
```
 final String getType()
```
    references exactly one verification method type. In order to maximize global interoperability, the verification method type SHOULD be registered in the DID Specification Registries: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-spec-registries/
  - getController
```
 final String getController()
```
    a value that conforms to the rules in DID Syntax: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#did-syntax
  - getPublicKeyJwk
```
 final Jwk getPublicKeyJwk()
```
    specification reference: https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#dfn-publickeyjwk
  - isType
```
 final Boolean isType(String type)
```
    Checks type of VerificationMethod.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The type to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true/false if the type matches
  - toString
```
 String toString()
```
