Description

Handle reverse use case where invitation is used to validate the source of an incoming access request.

  • Trevor sends an access request to Bob, masquerading with a webid and profile that makes him look like Alice.
  • Bob sees the request, and uses the invitation flow to in reverse to confirm that the request is coming from alice.
