identity

One thing that we will need to embed here is the identity. Deltas should be signed and verified by peers. I'm not sure which API we should expose, but I'm thinking of something along the lines of having a session intermediating collaborations:

const session = await app.session(credentials)
const collaboration = await session.collaborate('collab name', 'type', options)

@satazor do you mind taking this one? (after the DWeb Summit, of course).

[satazor]

@pgte Yes. Note that I'm still on Discussify as well. We need to define priorities after the DWeb Summit so that we are aligned in terms of what's to do next and expectations. Hopefully, we will be able to chat with a lot of people about Identity and Authentication on the event to better consolidate our ideas on peer-base/peer-star#15 as well.

@satazor understood.

Notes from personal discussion: we should provide a generic "validation" hook of CRDT operations so that anyone can bring their own identity/verification system. Then we would have a library that would provide a hook that glues the IndentityManagerClient, validating signatures and the presence of the public key in the DID document.
