Create Connection - sitra-ihan/MyData-Agency GitHub Wiki

In order to enable P2P credential exchange, the agents need to have a secure communication channel between them. In the SSI ecosystem, this is accomplished with DIDComm -capable agents.

The first step in credential exchange is establishing a secure connection using DIDComm, between the communicating parties. The connection forming involves creation and exchange of DIDs, and the associated public keys. By exchanging the DIDs, each party can sign and verify every single message, confirming the integrity and source of the information.

In MyData Agency, connection is established by selecting one from the drop-down list of known agent DIDs. In real-life implementation, DIDs are likely presented via website, QR-code or other traditional methods.

The connection -page also includes a button to test strong authentication. This service is directly tied with the connection, and is there for testing purposes. The authentication capability can be modified to include other authentication services as well.
