What is needed for 0587 Encryption Envelope Support in ACA-Py

[swcurran]

From Supported RFCs list as "not completed" for AIP 2.0 is RFC 0587 -- Support for the DIDComm V2 envelope format is a work in progress.

Please review RFC 0587 and the state of compliance for the RFC in ACA-Py to decide:

• What needs to be done?
• Is it worth doing, given the state of other DIDComm frameworks and implementers.

We need this information to make a call on whether or not to implement this before we release 1.0.0 of ACA-Py.

Asking @andrewwhitehead to look into this, but feel free to weigh in @TelegramSam @dbluhm @frostyfrog

Since this is not relevant until we begin the transition to DIDComm v2, we are not going to implement this.

A PR to the Aries RFCs repo that is intended to remove RFC 0587 from AIP 2.0, meaning we don’t need to complete this to be “AIP 2.0” complete.

Closing this issue. A comparable issue will be re-opened sometime in the future when the transition to DIDComm v2 happens.
