+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+DIDKit also supports the use of Aleo accounts as verifiable credentials.
+
+This is an example shell script using all the core functions of DIDKit-CLI: key
+generation, credential/presentation issuance and verification.
+
+_Note 1: This script is meant to be in a DIDKit-CLI source directory. See the
+complete script below for setup details._
+
+_Note 2: Currently Aleo support is only available through the
+`feat/aleo-sig-pkh` branch of the ssi library. When building the DIDKit CLI the
+feature `ssi/aleosig` must also be enabled._
+
+### Start with a keypair
+
+The SSI library can generate an Aleo keypair as an example:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/spruceid/ssi
+cd ssi
+git checkout feat/aleo-sig-pkh
+cargo run --example genaleojwk --features=aleosig > aleokey.jwk
+```
+
+You can also provide the details of an existing Aleo account, although you will
+need to do some extra work for DIDKit to use it.
+
+The Aleo private JWK format used by DIDKit is non-standard. An example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kty": "OKP",
+  "crv": "AleoTestnet1Key",
+  "x": "78_Jh_c7Fw46fX31xS9Ifdg_LeuabZ2p2aIl5fn9zw0",
+  "d": "f4a9dNLd0omQcg3SEajVHGqEqwFHDGD9yNc2xpzuiZ3sSJjIf5AnEYXWCQ"
+}
+```
+
+The format is as follows:
+
+- kty: "OKP"
+- crv: "AleoTestnet1Key"
+- x: An Aleo account address derived from the private key using Aleo Testnet1
+  parameters, as a Base64 value (without the "aleo" prefix that appears in its'
+  Base58 format)
+- d: An Aleo private key converted from Base58 (where it starts with
+  "APrivateKey1") to Base64 value
+
+### Generate a DID:Key document
+
+This document gets wrapped around the keypair generated (or passed) in the
+previous step. For more context on the DID:key method, see the
+[specification](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-key/).
+
+```bash
+key=aleokey.jwk
+did=$(didkit key-to-did pkh:aleo -k $key)
+```
+
+### Prepare credential for issuing.
+
+Here, we'll issue an example credential (unsigned) and save it to a file. For
+more info about what these properties mean, see the Verifiable Credentials Data
+Model [specification](https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/).
+
+```bash
+cat > credential-unsigned.jsonld <<EOF 
+{
+       "@context": ["https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1"],
+       "type": ["VerifiableCredential"],
+       "issuer": "$did",
+       "issuanceDate": "$issued",
+       "credentialSubject": {}
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+### Issue the verifiable credential.
+
+- We ask DIDKit to issue a verifiable credential using the given keypair file,
+  passing the unsigned credential on standard input.
+
+```bash
+didkit vc-issue-credential -k $key < credential-unsigned.jsonld \
+    > credential-signed.jsonld
+```
+
+### Verify a verifiable credential.
+
+- We pass the newly-issued signed verifiable credential back to didkit for
+  verification.
+
+```bash
+didkit vc-verify-credential < credential-signed.jsonld
+```
+
+### Appendix: whole script without comments
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/sh
+set -ex
+key=../ssi/tests/aleotestnet1-2021-11-22.json
+did=$(didkit key-to-did pkh:aleo -k $key)
+issued=$(date -uIsec)
+
+cat > credential-unsigned.jsonld <<EOF 
+{
+       "@context": ["https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1"],
+       "type": ["VerifiableCredential"],
+       "issuer": "$did",
+       "issuanceDate": "$issued",
+       "credentialSubject": {}
+}
+EOF
+
+didkit vc-issue-credential -k $key < credential-unsigned.jsonld \
+    > credential-signed.jsonld
+
+didkit vc-verify-credential < credential-signed.jsonld
+```
