* [announcement: DIDComm user group](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-credentials/2022Jan/0168.html) Hardman, Daniel (Thursday, 20 January)
|
||
|
||
Now that the [DIDComm v2 spec](https://identity.foundation/didcomm-messaging/spec/) is nearing completion, and there are [robust libraries in multiple programming languages](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm-messaging#implementations), we are starting a user group to share learnings as we put DIDComm into production. We will organize community resources, produce a handbook, foster application-level protocol creation, maintain the [didcomm.org website](https://didcomm.org) and [repo](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/didcomm.org), and recommend best practices.

# DIDComm
|
||
|
||
* [DIDComm has its own site](https://didcomm.org/)
|
||
> DIDComm lets people and software use [DIDs](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/) to communicate securely and privately over many channels: the web, email, mobile push notifications, QR codes, Bluetooth, message queues, sneakernet, and more.

* [DIDComm and the Self-Sovereign Internet](https://iiw.idcommons.net/21A/_DIDComm_and_the_Self-Sovereign_Internet) by Phil Windley [presentation](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1h0qi2qyGwM30DHpRAXW_Y0bBneo9xMEFZh1rIAeRa-E/edit?usp=sharing)
|
||
> DID-based relationships are the foundation of self-sovereign identity (SSI). The exchange of DIDs to form a connection with another party gives both parties a relationship that is self-certifying and mutually authenticated. Further, the connection forms a secure messaging channel called DID Communication or DIDComm. DIDComm messaging is more important than most understand, providing a secure, interoperable, and flexible general messaging overlay for the entire internet.

* [DIDComm and the Self-Sovereign Internet - Phillip J. Windley, Ph.D., Brigham Young University](https://www.windley.com/archives/2020/11/didcomm_and_the_self-sovereign_internet.shtml)
|
||
> DIDComm is a protocol layer capable of supporting specialized application protocols for specific workflows. Because of its general nature and inherent support for self-sovereign relationships, DIDComm provides a basis for a self-sovereign internet much more private, enabling, and flexible than the one we've built using Web 2.0 technologies. This talk introduces DIDComm, discusses its protocological nature, and presents use cases in the Internet of Things. Demonstrations of DIDComm protocol interactions will be shown on the Pico platform, which implements the Aries Cloud Agent (ACA) specification.

> DIDComm is a peer-to-peer communication technology for SSI (self-sovereign identity) with security and privacy properties rooted in DIDs (decentralized identifiers). Its core value proposition is often misunderstood or oversimplified. This webinar provides a proper mental model.

|

|

In short, ECDH-1PU is a key derivation process that allows for sender authenticity and enables a “[Perfect Forward Secrecy](https://www.wired.com/2016/11/what-is-perfect-forward-secrecy/#:~:text=Perfect%20forward%20secrecy%20means%20that,of%20the%20user%27s%20sensitive%20data.)” mechanism, in addition to significant performance gains over JWS message nested in a JWE envelope, as used by existign ECDH-ES aproaches.

||
|
||
- We at Jolocom strongly believe that DIDComm is a crucial infrastructure element for the broader and future-proof SSI stack, and [current work on DIDComm v2 includes Jolocom’s implementation of the specification](http://github.com/jolocom/didcomm-rs) with authcrypt (authenticated encrypted) and most of the low level of the protocol.

We presented how Alice and Bob establish a connection, exchange messages and demonstrated what connection types are supported.

### DIDComm v2
|
||
|
||
Work Item within DIF right now - envelope format with some other opinions we may or may want. Daniel Hardman gave vision - of parts that are done - leaving behind parts not done.
|
||
|
||
- DIDCom V2 Envelops JWEs (a standard that exists)
|
||
- Aries RFCs for payloads that go in JWE envelopes.
|
||
- Send envelopes over HTTP as a starting point
