Future Topics

• Next call
• Other:
  Current state of Payments in Aries
  • Currently have the payment decorator defines how to request payment and prove that payment happened (same information as the W3C Web Payments standard).
    • Protocol gap in actually making the payment. Should be pluggable (application agnostic).
  • Payments are defined as part of credential issuance and presentation
  • Top level concept like KMS?Status and future of wallet query language
• Using hardware enclaves (Mike L.)
  • Agent KMS Considerations: 
  • Steve M. has played a lot with the Apple enclave and can help.
  • Tension between security of a hardware enclave, and the portability promises of SSI.
    • Assumption is that any key put into an enclave cannot come out.
  • Ursa will provide an interface for interacting with an enclave (abstract the complexity).
    • Needs flexibility: mobile enclave, enterprise HSM
