Change how didcomm connections work
Currently DIDComm connections are represented as two pairs of senderEmail
/senderDID
and recipientEmail
/recipientDID
This must be changed, as requested by Matthias, so that a connection is represented by senderDID
and recipientEmail
/recipientDID
- i.e. without senderEmail
.
This will change a little bit when emails are processed with SMTP or DIDComm. For example, when the receiving SVDX accepts a connection, it will only allow the sending DID to send over DIDComm again and not the other way around, as the receiving SVDX won't know which sender is associated with the senderDID
.
On the upside, the system may be a bit easier to reason about and it may not be necessary to handle special cases of sender email and return-path
rewriting by middleman MTAs.
There are a few other functionalities requested by Matthias' email listed below.
-
Add new did-connection-id
header to the messages when they are processed via didcomm -
DID-Invitation headers should not be removed from the final delivered message, so they can be used for routing or UX improvements -
Update connections to contain only senderDID, recipientEmail and recipientDID -
Check how the Received
header is populated/formatted and if this can be improved
