AT Protocol and SMTP: When Old Tech Powers New Identity Exploring how AT Protocol and SMTP can work together to make secure messaging possible by combining 50-year-old email infrastructure with modern cryptographic identity. Building on Chris Boscolo's AT-SMS proposal, this post introduces ideas for adding SMTP services directly to DID documents and leveraging PDS-level cryptographic operations through XRPC methods. The result: verifiable, encrypted communication where messages work like signed JWTs over email, handles prove identity without centralized authorities, and users maintain complete control over their messaging infrastructure. A technical deep-dive into how "boring" technology like SMTP and DNS, combined with AT Protocol's identity primitives, could finally deliver truly portable, private, and permanent messaging.

This started as an explainer for a video demo of a prototype I've been cooking, but blew up into its own little announcement.😅
