• Implementation ofAriesVCX compatibleMediator Agency.

• Mediator Agency can service many users, providing them endpoint where 3rd parties can deliver encrypted messages.Assuming the sending party has properly end2end encrypted the message for recipient, according to Aries connection
  protocol, the agency itself can't decrypt content of received messages.

• VCX Agency implements 2 notification mechanisms.

  1. Webhooks - The agency calls a specified url when an agent receives a message. This is useful when usingAriesVcx on a server.
  2. Longpolls - Agent owners can poll agency to check whether any new messages have arrived. This is implemented vialongpoll mechanism - the server returns response only if a new message has arrived, or certain amount of time haspassed since the query request was received. This is to prevent overloading agency with client requests.In the future, longpoll mechanism might be replaced by websockets.

The agency implementation is in directoryvcxagency-node.

• Rust client for agency can be foundhere.

• Project is usingyarn instead ofnpm to install dependencies in all modules. The reason is thatnpm has issues handling monorepo projects withfile: style dependencies.See more info herenpm/npm#13528
