Evaluate DIDComm Properties: Security, Privacy, Usability

Open wip-abramson opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

What?

DIDComm is a protocol under standardisation at DIF - https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm-messaging

Using aries-basic-controller we can easily spin up agents and communicate over DIDComm. It would be good to use WireShark or similar to see exactly what is getting sent over the wire and evaluate the privacy, security and usability implications of this.

How long?

A month

Additional Context

Some useful RFCs - https://hackmd.io/KwogAummQM-fOOBBnjZ32w

Really cool paper from 1981 that basically is DIDComm today as far as I can see. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/358549.358563
