- The creation of the AnonCreds v2 Revocation Manager component.
- A release pipeline for the publication of the Revocation Manager artifacts.
- The creation of automated unit and integration tests for the component.
- Documentation about how to run, test and deploy the Revocation Service service.
- Opportunities to collaborate with project maintainers, and to present progress and results to the Hyperledger Indy AnonCreds community.
Relation to Hyperledger and Impact on the community
This project focuses mainly on Hyperledger AnonCreds, and to a lesser extent on Hyperledger Aries, which uses AnonCreds, and Hyperledger Indy, a ledger on which AnonCreds objects may be stored. Enabling a highly-scalable, ZKP-based revocation scheme will have a significant impact on the ability to deploy privacy-preserving verifiable credentials in "jurisdication-level" use cases, such as in national identity systems, education credential ecosystems, and the other million/billion credential ecosystems.
Recommended Skills
The mentee should be comfortable with, and interested in, cryptography, particularly zero knowledge proofs, and in their application in web technologies. As well, the mentee should be comfortable in using GitHub for development, at least one web framework, and in implementing unit and integration tests using containers and GitHub actions. An interest in learning about cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and Rust is desirable.
