Notes

Self-describing characteristics for blockchain interchain integration and APIs.

The main discussion: 

• Assumptions of trust from this Cactus diagram

https://github.com/hyperledger/cactus/blob/master/whitepaper/use-case-ethereum-to-quorum-asset-transfer.png

• Business model plugin handle

See last weeks IWG. See recording with @Peter and Vipin Bharathan https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/IWG/2020-06-10 

Personal feature branch where I've been dabbling with a plugin for Open ID Connect (still has to pass muster, but if you are interested)

• Implicit assumptions
  • Identity
    • Government issue identity
    • KYC [Notable, State of Washington is currently dealing with so called 'Scattered Canary identity fraud discovered by security researchers https://www.agari.com/email-security-blog/covid-19-unemployment-fraud-cares-act/ 
  • Transfers
    • Trust Coinbase exchange     
  • Real World Transfer 
    • Scotch
      • Capture implicit outside of protocol  
        • Code the smart contract based on half or transaction (trusting the scotch will arrive)
          • Requires external payment
        • R3
        • DoS
        • Identity agree to meta
  • Degrees of trust
    • All of nothing
      • $5.00 is low risk
      • $50 million is les absolute 
        • Customise smart contract per transaction
  • Trust Cactus 
    • Trust Cactus server hosting service
      • Host your own Cactus server
        
        • Cactus has ability to verify ledgers
        • Cactus has ability for plugins to verify each other 
          • Cactus has ability to specify plugin used in smart contract? (Peter mention, usure about this comment).

Future discussion (proposed agenda for later date)

• • Trust NPM plugins?
  • Mitigating Spectre v1 attacks is mainly needed for virtualized servers
  • Isolating plugins with ES (observable-membrane) 
  • Isolating plugins with SES (agoric)
