      • Meeting Agenda & Notes:  Aries Working Group
      • Richard hosting biweekly meetings - looking for someone to step in 4 weeks from now. Ideally, someone outside of North America. European participation welcomed, ideal for someone from Europe to lead the meetings. 
      • WG A:
        • Last meeting: Detailed work update.
        • Next meetings: Formal verification (April 8), IoT best practices (April 22)
        • Presentation on formal verification of protocols - particularly security protocols. The recording is available (Sven H.) DID Exchange Protocol in Aries and testing he's done in a formal verification tool. A necessary component to detect man in the middle situations with that protocol. If implementations not doing sufficient checking, they may not detect man in the middle. Using strong crypto; however, as we apply that crypto and connect - the opportunity for man in the middle. Slides/links in the morning A-call meeting minutes.
      • WG B: meeting notes 2020-02-12-B Aries Working Group Call (US afternoon) 
        • Mediator cloud agents
        • DIDExchange
        • B-call - closed a couple of issues. Mediator cloud agent demo - showing and talking through concept and demonstration of cloud agent as a position end point for a mobile agent, a disconnecting agent. Second demo on tracing inside Aries protocol - with the capability turn on tracing to track performance, spit out performance messages. Or, just for specifically protocol issues, spin records, and present in a tool. Using Elastic Search and Kibana to show data and how to query + visual presentation. Specific agent or across agents. Second round on Credential Exchange 2.0 - making more agnostic versus Indy specific. Pretty good in version 1, version 2 finishes - specific to Indy + agnostic for other credentials. 
      • Next WG A: Discussing Aries-Framework-Go. Notes and recordings
