Backup Identity

A previously stored IdentityEntity on SDK is backed up using backupIdentity() method. The IdentityEntity is backed up from a privateKey associated with the Identity.

Future<String?>backupIdentity({
required String genesisDid,
required String privateKey,
});

privateKey of the identity is a key that is used to access the sensitive information of the identity. This key is also used for generating proofs by using the credentials associated with the identity.

genesisDid is the unique ID of the identity.

The method returns a String representing the encrypted databases associated with the identity.

If an error occurs, the method throws an IdentityException.
