What:

Aries will host an Interop event on August 31, 2022. 7:00am-11:00am MDT

Goal:

This interactive event will comprise teams across the verifiable credentials community testing products and solutions both in the market and in development for interoperability. The goal is to discover what needs to be done to ensure that all are interoperable with Aries and with one another. Participants will come away with an understanding of where the gaps are in interoperability and hopefully how they can be fixed. This event is about discovery, discussion, and most importantly – interoperability! Observers are also welcome to attend!

Helpful details for Participants:

All participants must be able to make a connection between agents using DIDComm connection V1 or Out of Band.

Any Participant is welcome to bring agents that support DIDComm and may test any of the following:

Targets:

557 Discover Features
048 Trust Ping
434 OOB
023 DID Exchange
OOB Reuse

Bonus Targets:

455 Issue
454 Present
183 Revocation Notification

There will also be a final report published of the Aries Interop results that will be helpful in improving interoperability and as we plan for upcoming changes to the Aries roadmap.
