Main Business

• Migrating LibIndy to Aries
  
  • Indy Resolver becomes Indy-Aries-VDRI
    • Can wait to follow the DID-resolution spec, because the spec doesn't have enough detail today.
  • Indy Anoncreds becomes Aries-Shared-Creds-Anoncreds or Indy-Aries-Anoncreds
    • We prefer keeping it as a separate repo in Indy until another ledger shows interest.
  • Indy Wallet becomes Aries-Shared-KMS
    • Includes plugin interface
    • Aries-Shared-KMS-PostgreSQL
    • Aries-Shared-KMS-SQLite
• Other themes from the Aries Connect-a-thon
• Evernym can assist with:
  • Consensus
  • Revocation
  • Rich Schemas
  • DID Doc

Future Calls

• January 13: Indy performance analysis (BC.gov)
• Requirements question: IS-1099, should we allow duplicate credentials from the same issuer?
• Non-secrets in the Indy Wallet
  • Cam is working on pluggable crypto. The wallet shouldn't decide what encryption you should be using.
  • Use cases where we would want to move keys between wallets
    • Moving the link secret / credential data from one device to another (synchronized storage).
    • Debug use cases
    • Richard's hit other uses cases that were better solved with DID Doc,  pre-signing, signing API.
  • Work-around with the web-crypto API
• Migration of Indy-SDK to Aries-Core
• Indy performance analysis (BC.gov)

Action items

•  HIPE #138, Issue #144 (Ken and Brent)
  
  • Create a PR for changing status to ACCEPTED
  • Check for an Aries RFC
•  PR to RFC #0019 to compare pack/upack to msgpack (Sergey)
•  Richard and Sergey will close old pull requests with a descriptive comment.
•  Mike wants to review the 61 cases of "unsafe" libindy calls and figure out if they are justified.
