Agenda

• What's Happening With AnonCreds Rust Implementation
• AnonCreds Specification PRs
• Update from IIW – presentation given, response from the IIW community
• The AnonCreds V2 To Do List – ready to work?
  • Ordering
  • Adding Issues to outline the work
• Open Discussion

Future Calls

• Collect some use case specific examples and continue the discussions:
  • Applying the data structures to a real use case or two
    • Take an existing AnonCreds Schema (maybe this) and Credential Definition (maybe this) and define what it would be using Mike's proposed data models.
      • Where would the data models exist, such as on ledger, in the AnonCreds specification?
  • What concrete uses other than link-secret is there for blinded data in a credential?

To Dos:

Schema Claim Type:

• Would it make sense defining encodings for date related schema claim types that are especially useful to use in ZKP predicates?
  • "iso860_date" – encodes to dateint e.g., 2023.06.26 is 20230626
  • "iso860_datetime" - encodes to Unix Time e.g., seconds since Jan 1, 1970
• Yes – these would be "numbers" by type, but with special encoding handling.
