  • Aries Protocol Test Suite
    • Issue, credential, and proof tests are merged.
  • Aries Shared:
    • indy-vdr (Andrew Whitehead) https://github.com/andrewwhitehead/indy-ledger-client
      • Basically usable
      • Remaining work: Design doc, FFI, and testing
      • Will migrate repo to Hyperledger
      • As an Aries interface becomes standardized, will add that API layer
    • indy-aries-anoncreds / indy-creds → indy-credx and aries-credx
    • Aries-Shared-Util
      • Pack / Unpack
      • Not started yet
    • Aries-KMS
      • Mike Lodder working on documentation and architecture as an Aries RFC (KMS architecture) and Ursa RFC (API)
        • Differs from Indy Wallet architecture by separating out auth and access control. Intention is to ensure a smooth transition from Indy.
        • Ability to export keys under certain conditions (metadata is set upon key creation)
      • Mike and Cam's aries-core-rs → aries-kms-mayaguez
        https://github.com/sovrin-foundation/aries-kms-rs
        • Evolution from lox
        • Will include a default storage that is not a different implementation from the plugins
      • Indy wallet crate might move to start another aries-kms implementation → aries-kms-vostok
  • Aries-CloudAgent-Python (bc.gov)
    • Likely releasing 0.4.3 shortly - an update is needed for TAA handling
  • Aries-Framework-Go (Troy) #aries-go
    • Enable common JavaScript API for both WASM and REST controller APIs.
    • Verifiable Credential controller APIs (validation and storage).
    • Preparing 0.1.2 release
  • Aries-SDK-Ruby (Jack)
  • Aries-Framework-DotNet (Tomislav)
    • Release last week for Aries compatibility with ACApy and LibVCX (RFC 0094)
  • Aries-StaticAgent-Python
  • Aries-Toolbox
    • Added basic message admin
    • Working on a getting started video
  • Aries-SDK-Java
  • Aries-Framework-JavaScript / Aries-SDK-JavaScript
  • Rich Schemas and W3C Verifiable Credentials (Brent & Ken)
  • Ursa
    • 0.3.2 released in February, includes key exchange methods (can replace libsodium)

  • Progress on Rich Schemas Ken Ebert
    • Milestone 1: Issue a credential
    • Milestone 2: Verify using a presentation definition
    Schemas / W3C Verifiable Credentials Ken Ebert
    • Collaboration session

    • Rich Schemas Roadmap:

      • HIPE / RFCs (50% done)
        • Issuance in DIDComm
        • Proof in DIDComm
        • Mapping (Alex)
        • Cred Def (Alex)
        • Presentation Def (Ken and Brent)
        • Presentation (Ken and Brent)
        • Verifiable Credential (Alex)
        • Update existing HIPEs/RFCs (Alex)
        • HIPEs/RFCs for new objects:
      • Indy Node implementation (95% done) (Alex)
      • Indy-vdr (Andrew N)
        • Prerequisite: CI / CD for indy-vdr, and integration into Indy SDK
      • aries-credx (Andrew N and Echo)
        • create_w3c_cred
        • sign_w3c_cred 
        • verify_w3c_cred
        • create_presentation
    •  Milestones
      1. Issue a credential
      2. Verify using a presentation definition with ZKP signature
    • Aries-Framework-Go already supports W3C VC's: JSON-LD and JWTs
    • Avoid the term "Rich Schema" in artifacts and code.
  • Merge indy-credx with aries-credx?
  • Indy VDR is moved to Hyperledger
  • CI / CI / CD Aries shared libraries
    • Prefer GitHub Actions.
      • Use GitHub Actions Runner for iOS and Android hosted by the Sovrin Foundation.
      • Can easily migrate to Azure Pipelines or Circle CI if needed.
    • Aries-Framework-Go is using both GitHub Actions and (to a limited extent) Azure Pipelines
      • Azure Pipelines supported deployments that GitHub Actions didn't (likely does now)
      • Azure Pipelines worked better for heavy tests:  more computationally intensive and parallel
    • We plan to reduce the number of architectures. Won't support old devices.
  • When building Aries Util (pack / unpack) will migrate from LibSodium to Ursa key exchange?
    • Probably, but need additional testing.
  • BC.gov is using Pyo3 as well as FFI in shared libraries
    • Python extension written in Rust that wraps crate directly. Improves performance and security.
