  • Formatting was changed.

Summary:

Excerpt
  • The right place to create an Anoncreds library: shared libraries export C-callable API, but the language doesn't matter (C, Rust, Go)
  • Aries-Framework-Go has a Verifiable Credential package that could be made available to other frameworks

  • Building a generic DIDDoc parser

  • Aries-Wallet is probably the right shared library to build first

Planned topics

  • Continue the discussion of an Aries core library / Indy split until we have a plan that we can work together to implement.

Note: This call is Recorded. Recordings posted at the bottom of the page.

...

  • Aries-CloudAgent-Python (bc.gov) - Release 0.3.12 has been tagged and is on PyPi
    • Support for RFC 0036 and RFC 0037 Credential Exchange protocols, 0.1 version of those protocols deprecated
    • Working on next release, particularly on revocation support.
  • Aries-Framework-Go (Troy)
  • Aries-SDK-Ruby (Jack)
    • Moved to https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-sdk-ruby
    • Released as a Gem (0.0.2)3) due to Rails 6 issues
    • Developed docker image with Rails 6 (Ruby 2.5.1) with Indy-SDK to test Aries-SDK-Ruby via Dokku deployment
    • Needed for exploring concurrency and compatibility issues with Sidekiq, Resque, SuckerPunch, etc.Will use synchronous (blocking) threads due to GIL with reliance on ActiveJob in Rails (adaptors for Sidekiq, Resque, Sucker Punch, etc.) to support threading (but untested)
  • Aries-Framework-DotNet (Tomislav)
  • Aries-StaticAgent-Python - Release 0.4.0
    • Move from Pysodium → PyNacl
    • Improved module interface and routing.
  • Aries-SDK-Python - Wrapper from JeromK and SBCA?
  • Aries-SDK-Java
    • People are expressing interest in Rocket Chat, but no one has started contributing code yet. Could start by moving the Indy SDK wrapper to Aries.Aries-SDK subchannel / discussion aries-sdk-java
  • Aries-SDK-JavaScript
    • Need a reviewer for the pull request moving code from Indy-SDK to AriesPeople are collaborating in the repo.
  • Indy SDKAugust
  • Ursa
    • Working on release of 0.2.0 (September / October)
      • ZKP  / ZKLang improvements
      • Debian packages
      • Refactor internal plumbing for anoncreds 2.0, shouldn't impact external interfaces
      • Refactor multi-signature BLS in addition to aggregated signature
    • Sovrin Foundation is looking to build a Indy specific Ursa,  with ZKPs. Other Aries clients would build a different Ursa.

RFC Progress

Other Business

  • Aries shared libraries export their API as C-callable, but the implementation language doesn't matter: C, Rust, Go
  • DIDDoc parser in Rust:
  • What is the next step we can take:
    • Richard's proposal for order of work
      • Move Indy-SDK into Aries-Core (October release)
      • Split out wallet into Aries-Wallet (November release)
      • Define the resolver interface (November effort)
      • Split out resolver into Indy-Resolver (December release)
    • Questions
      • Iterative approach: do something that we can improve on.
        • Start with the needs of the agents (Aries-Cloud-Agent) and build the Aries core architecture from that.
      • Maintain Indy-SDK alongside Aries-Core / Aries-Wallet / Aries-Resolver?
      • Who will be the maintainers of the new libraries? Do we want cross-organization PR reviews?
      • Best way to maintain history, and  make the reorg transparent
        • History continues public in Indy-SDK, so might be better to start clean in Aries
        • concerns with old DCO process: can use Mike Lodder's approach he used for moving indy-crypto to ursa
      • What to do with the Indy CLI?
      • CI / CD in Jenkins or GitLab?
    • Daniel's proposal for order of work
      • Split out Indy wallet into Aries-Wallet
      • Define the resolver interface and create the resolver libraries (indy and peer)
      • Wait on Aries-Core
  • Architecture of Aries core library
