Tests verify that a DID\nDocument submitted in YY1 is subsequently retrievable via YY2 in the same session, that both\nthe VHL Sharer and VHL Receiver can retrieve peer keys, that a full round-trip signature\nverification succeeds, and that revocation propagates correctly across actors.\n\nActors exercised: VHL Sharer, Trust Anchor, VHL Receiver.",
