Communication Process

The Dmail Messaging Protocol encompasses both an application layer, known as Dmail DApp, and a transport layer that developers can directly utilize for message transmission. Its architectural design prominently features endpoints, relayers, and routers.

Dmail Encrypted Communication Process

Multi-Chain Encrypted Communication Process in Dmail Network:

  1. Sender's Interaction with Dmail DApp:

    • The sender initiates the process by logging into the Dmail DApp.

    • The DApp currently facilitates login via 18 multiple chains, including WorldID and Google.

  2. Message Encryption and Dispatch:

    • The sender transmits an encrypted message over their connected network.

    • This involves: a. Encrypting the message and storing it in a distributed container, creating a unique message URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). b. Packaging the sender and recipient details, subject, URI, and timestamp into a relay message, which is then dispatched to the network's relayer system.

  3. Relayer Verification and Broadcast:

    • The relayer decrypts the sender’s smart contract, and broadcast those messages to all other connected end-points on multiple chains.

    • The relayer system, consisting of Source and Destination Message Buses, a Validator, and a Cross-Chain Message Executor, processes the message.

    • The Validator validates and distributes the message, while the Executor forwards verified messages to the routing system.

  4. Routing and Network Matching:

    • The router assesses the recipient's address format, aligns it with the unique ID, and directs the message to the intended recipient.

  5. Web2 & Web3 Messages Distribution:

    • Web2 Distribution: Messages are decrypted by a proxy robot and then forwarded using SMTP and email protocols.

    • Web3 Distribution: Messages are sent to the validated ID and recipient address in the Web3 network.

  6. Recipient's Engagement:

    • The recipient accesses their messages through the Dmail DApp.

    • While recipients can log in from multiple chains, currently, message retrieval is primarily supported via the Internet Computer, with plans to extend this to multiple chains.

  7. Messages Retrieval:

    • Upon logging in, the recipient’s network and address are converted to a Dmail unique ID, which is used to fetch incoming messages.

    • Messages linked to the recipient’s ID are retrieved from the distributed container using the message URI, decrypted, and presented to the recipient in their entirety.
