Signing a public invitation #23

Closed Oskar-van-Deventer closed 5 years ago

Oskar-van-Deventer commented 5 years ago

"The invitation is NOT encrypted, and it does NOT require the recipient (the invitee) to have special software that understands this protocol."

If an anywise DID is used, then can the public invitation be signed with a signing key from the DDO associated with that DID? And would such be useful?

Yes, and yes. This (the value of signing something that's unencrypted and sent over an insecure channel) is more or less the same observation that Tobias Looker has made in his work on the ephemeral challenge protocol in Indy. See https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-hipe/blob/42716a9ae990e7c04524269869164e776d01d876/text/ephemeral-challenge-protocol/README.md

Please submit a PR with some updated wording that can improve this section with your suggestion.
