Pushing Forward Interoperability in Decentralized Communication
The Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) is thrilled to invite organizations, developers, and community members to participate in an exciting event centered around fostering interoperability within the DIDComm ecosystem.
What is DIDComm?
DIDComm (Decentralized Identifier Communication) is an open standard designed for secure, private peer-to-peer communication, powered by Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). Unlike traditional communication protocols that depend on centralized entities, DIDComm offers a self-sovereign approach that supports verifiable identities and ensures the highest level of privacy and security.
With the growth of DIDComm implementations across the ecosystem, this event presents an opportunity to come together, test integrations, and enhance interoperability in a collaborative environment.
Event Details
Date: December 12, 2024
Time: 7:00 am PT / 3:00 pm GMT
Format: Each testing session will be 30 minutes long. Participants can choose to test with as many or as few others as desired.
This Interop-a-thon will focus on testing DIDComm V2 features. The goal is to facilitate scenarios such as sending a message from one app to another, with the receiving app decrypting and understanding the content. While different agents may have different functional focuses (e.g., mediators understanding forward messages but not needing to send them), participation helps ensure comprehensive compatibility across various implementations.
Preparation and Resources
To make the most of your experience at the Interop-a-thon, we encourage participants to prepare in advance by using the reference implementation for preliminary testing. The DIDComm Demo supports all core features relevant to the event, with the exception of Out of Band messages. For those needing to create out-of-band invitations, a helpful webpage can be found here to generate invitation URLs and QR codes for testing purposes.
If you have any questions or need assistance before the event, the DIDComm User’s Group is an excellent resource, offering support and guidance as you get ready for a successful event.
Volunteer Opportunities
We’re looking for room facilitators to help coordinate and ensure smooth sessions. If you’re interested, please sign up here.
