This NIP defines a method for relays to verify the identity of the client that is requesting ["encrypted directed messages"](04.md) messages and only allow these clients to see messages authored by them or targeted to them.
This NIP defines a method for relays to verify the identity of the client that is requesting ["encrypted directed messages"](04.md) and only allow these clients to see messages authored by them or intended for them.
When connecting to relays that support this NIP, clients SHOULD send a an event of kind `20001`, meaning "client identification", with the content set to `"client identification for <relay hostname>"`.
When connecting to relays that support this NIP, clients SHOULD send an event of kind `20001`, meaning "client identification", with the content set to `"client identification for <relay hostname>"`.
The relay MUST then use the event to verify the identity of the client and discard it afterwards. In the verification process the relay MUST check:
1. if event signature is valid;
2. if the content phrase matches the canonical phrase with the actual relay hostname in it;
3. if the event timestamp is not too far from the relay current timestamp.
3. if the event timestamp is not too far from the relay's current timestamp.
If all is well, then the relay can use the identified pubkey to validate further requests for kind-4 events and only return kind-4 events that were either authored by the identified pubkey (`"pubkey": ...`) or are addressed to the identified pubkey (`"tags": ["p", ...]`).
