Outcome & Work Items

RFC 496 - Transition to OOB and DID Exchange From 2021-11-16 Session

• To do: Chase wallet vendors, share findings, and update RFC Stephen Curran

How are we really going to do deep-links? From 2021-11-16 Session

• Options: Custom, associated domains, community managed domain
• To Do: Writeup of proposed option: James Ebert Clecio Varjao Sam Curren

Handling HTTP on mobile, since mobile OS's require an exemption to use HTTP. DIDComm over HTTPS results in double encryption. From 2021-11-16 Session

• To Do: PR to RFC 0025 Transports to make HTTPS a SHOULD since the UX to request an exemption is a Bad Thing Jason Leach

Auto-approval of presentation requests. From 2021-12-07 Session

• Can be risky, e.g. auto-presenting could lead to interaction-less login
• One aspect: bulk approval (present series of proofs with one user action to approve)
• Another aspect: policy approval (conditions by which an approval or other user action can be automated)
  • Care needed on: anti-patterns, security vs. convenience, following SSI principles, fiduciary responsibility when agents work on behalf of users
• To Do:
  • Needs bulk presentation request (Present Proof) (mostly done)
  • Needs policy to recommend bulk actions
  • Policy approval is complex and needs more investigation

Machine-Readable Governance and UX. From 2021-12-07 Session

• Introduces new types of user interactions
• Has many types of governance: root of trust, identifying participants, etc.
• Mike is working on test applications of Machine Readable Governance

Credential UX

• Theming can be facilitated using overlay bundles and SVG
• Review Horatio's work on SVG credential display: https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/pull/694/files?short_path=c91c22b#diff-c91c22b4e711690c9d2dc4c3830300ba7a1e7fa0af70e100922f13aa43c87a6e
• Horatio and Sebastien to work on Bifold and Lissi for compatible display
• To Do: Stephen Curran to work on an overlay layer type
• risk: may give organizations too much control on the look and feel of a credential

UX of Invitations

• Development of Machine Readable Governance
• Development of language around trust
• To Do: Need Proposed Initial Attempt as an Aries RFC - Sam Curren

Mobile Verifiers

• Inversion of QR scanning flow where verifier scans holder's QR code
• Other mechanisms other than QR Code (e.g.: BLE)
• Todo: Summary of existing state for BLE
• Todo: Summary of existing state for NFC
• Todo: Document use cases and UX flows

Device Backup/Recovery

• Define interop format for backup
  • Not everything can be backed up. Some credentials may only be usable in the device/wallet it was issued to 
• Define a backup service protocol

Error Handling and Reporting

• We don't currently have enough published community knowledge to organize the conversation very well.
• Errors need to be communicated at both a technical level and a human level
• Context for errors is important - don't imply that background errors relate to a different foreground operation.
• ToDo: Need a focused convention of agent developers to share the errors they handle and how, with a goal of capturing community knowledge and best practices.
