Description
The significant aspects to be considered here are Creation, Onboarding(Enable/Restrict Access) and Manage(add/update/revoke) .
a) Creation (of DIDRegistry): Function to create a DIDRegistry for an organization on Github. GitHub Organization can have multiple repository , same is the case with DID Registries.
b) Onboarding: Function to add enable/restrict access to members of an organization to a repository (GitHub repo users can be made members of an Organization, with different roles and privileges).
c) Manage: Function to list APIs that are needed to add/update/revoke access DID’s or (DID Documents) saved as files on the repo.
Additional Information
You can learn about the project by accessing drman repo. The issues to be focused on are listed under the issues tab here.
Learning Objectives
The mentee will have an opportunity to learn
- The Application of the Decentralized Identity
- Hyperledger Aries and Ursa code base
- Public key cryptography
- Application of Hyperledger Ursa in enabling Zero-Knowledge proof
- Git, Shell Scripting, RUST
- Open source contribution, documentation, and sense of ownership
Expected Outcome
Scripts to create a DID registry structure and on boarding the trusted team with necessary ACL set for working with the git repository . This should be enabled with an API layer through which the interaction with DID registry can be enabled and integrated with other platforms
Relation to Hyperledger
Github/Gitlab based DID registries that can be used by Hyperledger Ursa, Hyperledger Aries, or any other Hyperledger Framework that needs to interact with DID Registries
Education Level
Graduate or Masters students preferred. Please do take a look at the skills.
Skills
Exposure to Hyperledger Ursa, hands-on with shell scripting, knowledge of Git, GitHub, or Gitlab is expected. Any high-level understanding of Decentralized Identity is also desirable to some extent.
Future plans
The plan is to further enhance this as an open-source utility and add more capabilities required to manage an full-featured DID Registry on Github.
Preferred Hours and Length of Internship
