Disclosed are various embodiments for consolidated protocols for decentralized identifier communications (DIDComm). In various embodiments, an issuer can receive a secure connection request and request for a credential from a holder. The issuer can then send a second packet comprising an acceptance of the secure connection request to the holder and subsequently send a verifiable credential after establishing the secure connection. The holder can simultaneously send an acknowledgement for setting up the secure connection and receiving the verifiable credential. The holder can request a second secure connection with a verifier. After establishing the second secure connection, the holder can send a verifiable presentation or the verifiable credential to the verifier, which the verifier can verify.
