Agenda
- Record the meeting
- Future of Aries
- Make sure to read the meeting notes: 2023-05-24 Aries Working Group Call
- Where did the initiative come from?
- OWF doesn't make standards, Aries has RFCs
- RFCs could be moved to DIF
- We get a lot of things from HL (runners, infrastructure, marketing, workshops)
- Problem from Hyperledger?
- assumption = Hyperledger == blockchain
- misconceptions about Aries
- OWF = wallet, that doesn't make sense maybe?
- Purpose / goal of Aries = rooted in blockchain (should goal be revamped?)
- Aries is not tied to indy, but not tied to blockchain at all
- indy-pendence is not well-known, move to OWF could help in making that more clear
- not as much activity / support?
- other communities view Aries as AnonCreds, CL, Indy, DIDComm
- perception is very difficult to change
- Note from Tim Bloomfield:
- In terms of marketing and branding here is a great example of the current confusion on Aries - this is paper from the FIDO alliance (provides a great summary of eIDAS):
- “Hyperledger Indy SDK Wallet [74] is a cloud-based wallet, which is accessed by the Hyperledger Aries
protocols. This cloud-based architecture is most relevant for the EUDI Wallet Form Factor 2.” - https://media.fidoalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FIDO-EUDI-Wallet-White-Paper-FINAL.pdf
- wallet is the anchor where people start (so open wallet foundation can help)
- components split up, so not one indy-sdk but separate components. Not connected to just indy.
- Discussion in Aries repo: https://github.com/hyperledger/aries/discussions/20
- Future architecture of Aries Framework JavaScript
- Getting started with AFJ
- difficult to keep up with versions, alpha vs stable, what to use, and install instructions are sometimes incorrect if in alpha stages
- documentation not clear on what the release cycle looks like
- getting the demo working (alice-faber walkthrough)
- extracting it into a separate repo
- or as acapy: add it in a docker container
- lack of documentation/demo (for plugins)
- bbs+, jsonld, cheqd not documented, also not in the demo
- openid4vci
- example repos setup with the latest version and having simple flows implemented
- different examples
- examples: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples
- difficult to keep up with versions, alpha vs stable, what to use, and install instructions are sometimes incorrect if in alpha stages
- Release 0.4.0!!
- Wallet API
- DIDComm v2
- shared components
- not wait for revocation
- DIDComm v2
- What to do to get it merged?
- do not call did resolver from wallet, but keep didcomm implemetnation in wallet for now.
