Connection

The Connection API in the Cloud Wallet domain handles peer-to-peer relationships between wallets and external agents (issuers, verifiers, or other wallets). Connections allow secure, bidirectional communications using protocols like DIDComm or OpenID-based flows.

What “Connection” enables​

  • Invitation Acceptance: The API supports accepting connection invitation, enabling your wallet to establish a secure channel with another party.
  • Connection Retrieval & Listing: You can fetch details of individual connections (by ID) or list all current connections tied to a wallet.
  • Connection Metadata & State: Each connection carries state, metadata, and IDs — useful for tracking role etc.
