• Aries Agent Test Harness (https://aries-interop.info)
• Aries Askar secure storage - https://github.com/bcgov/aries-askar
• Frameworks:
  • Aries-CloudAgent-Python (https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python, Meetings: ACA-Pug Meetings)
    • Encryption envelope (Askar impl) not fully-developed yet. We could use different libraries (SICPA Rust). SICPA DIDComm impl is what will be used... resolves did peers natively. The keys will have to be transported out of Askar, but that is acceptable for now. SICPA is the most widely used.
      • SICPA for DIDComm and did:peer https://github.com/sicpa-dlab/didcomm-python
      • No near-term Askar support for the DIDComm v2 encryption envelope and core protocols.
    • Protocols related to credential exchange and connection establishment. Distinguish between DIDComm v1 and v2. DID Exchange will be adapted.  The main focus is on Out-of-Band protocol.
    • Very important to extend the AATH.
  • Aries-Framework-JavaScript (https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript, Meetings: Framework JS Meetings)
    • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/1096#issuecomment-1343833016
    • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/1211
    • Issue related to multi-base from SICPA for DID peer
  • Picos as Aries agents (DIDComm v1: https://github.com/Picolab/aries-cloudagent-pico ; DIDComm v2 work in progress)
    • students have returned and they are using SICPA for envelope encryption, pack/unpack and hopeful sending messages
    • DIF Picos working group, useful for IoT devices.
    • Rich API and Internet connected to be a capable L2 agent.
    • Using Trinsic as VC as a service.
  • Swift Framework
  • Veramo Framework
    • WACI support https://github.com/uport-project/veramo/issues/1106
    • DID Peer support https://github.com/uport-project/veramo/issues/1105
      • Using Brian's (AviaryTech) DID Peer impl, adapting it as a plugin
• Mobile:
  • Aries Mobile Agent React Native, aka Aries Bifold (https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-mobile-agent-react-native, Meetings: Aries Bifold User Group Meetings)
• aries-mediator-service – a DIDComm Mediator in a Box
  • working on Pickup support
• AviaryTech DIDComm TS impl
  • https://github.com/aviarytech/didcomm
  • https://github.com/aviarytech/did-peer
• KERI Working Group
  • Alternative to peer DID.  More refinements to the proposal. Then present it to the Aries groups.  Similar to Algo2 of the peer DID.
    • KERI parameter on the DID in order to get the document. Public encryption key and serviceEndpoint.
• ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol
  • Sam joins the task force and has a video of Sam's that diagrams his TSP vision https://zoom.us/rec/play/1EcHtXeGPPynwwBvU3X4uAAw0xhFPC3CwwAIXwQ-P_E6tPlzvBskHuzTYftS1ZrmjPw5EiBZWYwiTgdI.tx021j9JATi2l5Xq?continueMode=true&_x_zm_rtaid=noVlj_2fRpuccKG26Jmytw.1675686252575.5cf45b925f44c52d0118a3fdef8541ea&_x_zm_rhtaid=714

Discussion Topics

DIDComm v1 vs v2

• simple explanation of the benefits of upgrading
• DIDComm v1 is tightly coupled to the Aries RFCs (encryption envelope) and v2 introduces some simplicity in terms of connections

AIP3

• HackMD from the last Aires WG meeting, regarding AIP 3.0 
• Should we specify how the did methods (like did peer) are used?
  • We are focused on DIDComm v2 communication but does the rest of the AIP community know that?
  • WACI issuance
    • Do you need to be able to resolve indy, cheqd, etc. in order to issue credential
• Discussed sub-roles https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/main/features/0453-issue-credential-v2/credential-issuance.png
