Goals

• Rename agency to mediator
  • In line with RFCs, easier to understand
• Without dependency injection in V1. How can custom handlers / modules / services make use of other services?
  • No custom handlers/ modules / services in v1.
  • after that with agent context.
• improve logger by adding multiple log levels
• message validation
  • Where should we do this?
    • Easy: one time after transforming to class instance.
    • However when protocols have custom validation errors (e.g. issue credential) this will fail.
  • No problem to have each handler handle it
• Validation of sender key
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/71 
  • Discuss flow
  • Connection invitation can use public did, final connection can use another did.
  • don't store `theirKey` until signed connection response
• Inbound / Outbound notation
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/71
  • idea: don't return outbound message in handlers, just the agent message
  • Timo Glastra will show example next week
• Schema API
  • registerNym / geNym vs registerPublicDid / getPublicDid
