  • 2022-02-02 Meeting Notes
    
    • Reference implementations (i.e. where Ursa is used?)
      1. BLS signatures:  great example.  Indy plenum calls Ursa through Ursa python and gets BLS signatures.
      2. BBS+:  supposed to be used, but code being copied rather than called.  
      3. Great for an intern project because no math knowledge is needed.
      4. Moving the meeting back an hour not to conflict with Aries meeting.
    • R1CS PR:
      1. Needs test code, license headers.
    • How to get started:  Aries cloud agent.
