Dependencies

Required (for specific features)

5

// MongoDB (for MongoDB storage)
implementation("org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-kotlin-coroutine:4.11.0")

// AWS SDK (for S3 archiving)
implementation("software.amazon.awssdk:s3:2.20.0")

Already Included

  • BouncyCastle (for encryption)
  • Kotlinx Serialization (for JSON)

Integration Points

Storage Interface Updates

The DidCommMessageStorage interface has been extended with:

1
2
3

fun setEncryption(encryption: MessageEncryption?)
suspend fun markAsArchived(messageIds: List<String>, archiveId: String)
suspend fun isArchived(messageId: String): Boolean

All storage implementations (InMemory, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) support these methods.

Testing Recommendations

Each feature should have:

  1. Unit Tests - Test individual components
  2. Integration Tests - Test with actual databases/storage
  3. Performance Tests - Test under load
  4. Security Tests - Test encryption strength and key access

Production Considerations

Security

  • Use strong encryption keys (256-bit)
  • Store master keys securely (HSM, cloud KMS)
  • Implement proper access controls
  • Audit all key operations

Performance

  • Use connection pooling for databases
  • Index all query fields
  • Cache frequently accessed data
  • Monitor replication lag

Monitoring

  • Track encryption/decryption performance
  • Monitor archive operations
  • Track replication status
  • Monitor key rotation success rate

Next Steps

  1. Add Tests - Create comprehensive test suites
  2. Add Documentation - Create usage guides for each feature
  3. Add Examples - Create example code for common use cases
  4. Performance Tuning - Optimize based on production usage
  5. Security Audit - Review encryption and key management
