Hyperledger Ursa
- Homepage: Hyperledger Ursa (EOL)
- 2020-1112-11 8 Meeting Agenda
  - Approved the secret sharing PR.
  - Accumulator discussion.
  - Outstanding issues:
    1. k256 crate
    (secp256k1). Should we use it?
    1. Everyone seems in favor.
    2. How to formalize–add to the refactoring documentation.
  - Ursa refactor:
    1. Focus on secret sharing
    2. We may need more buckets
  - 1. .
      1. Already migrated for the signature refactor.
      2. Can Milagro be removed? (Only left for Indy.)
    2. Ursa refactor.
    3. Revocation issues (led by Brent)
    :
    1. We should probably wait until refactor is done.
    2. IETF Standardizing BLS Signatures
    3. We need to bring our signature into compliance when this happens
    4. We should also switch from Milagro to PairingPlus
  - Discussion on PR #143
    1. Misuse resistance vs efficiency
    (is there still interest?)
