Logging the verified peer identity name

In this example, the peerIdentity promise is awaited to obtain the identity assertion, and then the peer’s verified identity name is logged.

const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();

// …

async function logPeerName() {
  try {
    const identity = await pc.peerIdentity;
    console.log(`Peer identity: ${identity.name}`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Could not verify peer identity:", err);
  }
}

logPeerName();
