• Reception of Aries project
  • Generally positive.
  • Concerns from DIF crew about Aries being in Hyperledger.
    • Want as large a contributor community as possible
    • But don't want to slow down forward progress with governance questions
    • Create an Aries DIDComm working group might help DIF participants?
      • Probably won't help.
• Timeline for Indy migration to Aries.
  • Future of LibVCX? Will be discussed in the Indy SDK WG on Wednesday.
  • Indy SDK vs Aries SDK? Will be discussed in the Indy SDK WG on Wednesday.
  • Indy Agent Test Framework becomes Aries DIDComm Test Framework
    • DIDComm or DIDComms ? Will decide in the Aries call.
• Cred Def and Revocation Registry 2.0
  • Does the Issuer decide how an attribute is encoded to a cryptographic value?
    • Anoncreds 1.0: If it is a number, take it. If not, sign the SHA256.
    • Anoncreds 2.0: Needs to work with Schema 2.0 (attribute mapping to the cryptographic integer that gets signed)
    • Allowing every Issuer to do something different reduces the reusability of the schema.
      • But issuers might have different standards for things.
      • But an issuer can always create a new schema.
  • How quickly can we deprecate the current approach in favor of the new approach?
    • Need a detailed architectural review before making a decision.
• Documentation:
  • Need a SIP for Transaction Author Agreement explaining policy needs.
  • Need better documentation for Indy Node.
    • Evernym video:
       

Next Week

• Documentation: (a conversation for the US / Europe group, already had it with US / Asia)
  • Where to document changes? HIPEs/Repo Docs/Jira Tickets
  • PR's should link back to Jira tickets
