Behind the scenes

1. The client creates or loads the session key pair.
2. The client generates a distributed identity document (DID)
3. The user clicks [Attest]
4. The client redirects to a url on the dapp-identity-api asking for attestation
5. The user must log in and provide their password
6. The dapp-identity-api#did-attest generates a proof and redirects the user back to their app
7. The app reloads, loading it's previous session from localStorage.
8. The app loads the identity of the user from dapp-identity-api.
9. The app checks to see if the attestation exists on the server and retrieves it.
10. The app loads the public key of dapp-identity-api and validates the proof.
