Agenda
Open Issue
- PRs for review and merging
- Issues to Discuss
- Revocation Interval
- Further discussion from last week.
- Approach to determine if the holder used an acceptable RevRegistry – see this Issue comment
- Who calls the AnonCreds method to get the Revocation Registry for verification
- Verifier or AnonCreds?
- Stephen Curran claims it is the verifier, and therefore the verifier can decide if the provided NRP used an acceptable revocation registry
- AnonCreds is NOT responsible for deciding if the right RevRegEntry was used – only if the NRP based on a given rev reg value is valid.
- Verifier or AnonCreds?
- To set "validation" to true/false based on the RevRegEntry timestamp in relation to the revocation interval? Presentation
- Key points:
- 1. an RevRegEntry is “current” from the time it is written, to the time of the next RevRegEntry
- 2. “within the interval” is based on when a RevRegEntry is “current” (see 1.), not its timestamp.
- 3. AnonCreds or the Verifier (calling AnonCreds) should calculate “within interval” (using 2.) and mark verification true if the RevRegEntry used by the Prover is within the interval, else false.
- Dangers:
- False-Negatives: If a strict "timestamp used is between from, to" and not based on when a RevReg is "current" (per 2.), we will get "not verified" incorrectly.
- False-Positives: If we don't do any checking of the timestamp and the interval, the holder could incorrectly use an old RevRegEntry.
- Dangers:
- 4. General point: AnonCreds should return both a summary (true/false) and if false, additional data about why it was false.
- Issue #137 added regarding further investigation into what happens to the issuance data flow nonce(s) by Belsy
- Revocation Interval
- Discussion: Mike Lodder has proposed that a group start on "Next Gen" AnonCreds based on his this recorded presentation at out 2022-11-28 meeting
- Checkin: anoncreds-rs implementation progress, requests
- Open Discussion
Future Calls
To Dos:
- Backwards Compatibility
- PRs in (#82, #105) that seem to change public data structures – ones that are handled outside of AnonCreds and/or by two or more participants (issuer, holder, verifier)
- We want to retain compatibility with existing data – credentials that have been issued and the published AnonCreds objects on which they rely.
- That extends to business logic – e.g. the handling of the objects not just by AnonCreds, AnonCreds Methods and Aries Frameworks, but also by business applications built on Aries.
- Suggestion:
- Include in the specification a statement about backward compatibility
- Perhaps this is what Ankur had planned to do?
- Formalize what data structures will be expected by AnonCreds
- This is being done throughout the specification and verified against the current implementation.
- As needed support sending and receiving data in "old" and "new" formats, but (for now) always sending "old" formats.
- TBD if there are any such cases.
- Include in the specification a statement about backward compatibility
Action items
- Adding support for W3C Format AnonCreds to the anoncreds implementation and the spec.
- Issue -- should "encoded" generation be handled by the Issuer or within AnonCreds?
- Formalize the encoding in the specification
- Transition to "encoding in AnonCreds" ASAP
- Links to be referenced in the spec and used where needed:
