Why we need DIDComm

Kaliya Young · January 12, 2022 ·

This is the text of an email I got today from a company that i had a contract with last year. It is really really really annoying the whole process of sending secure communications and documents.
Once I finished reading it – I was reminded quite strongly why we need DIDComm as a protocol to enable the secure transport of all sorts of things not just signed VCs but intermediate uses – just PDF based things that have important information.
