Goals of the Working Group:

The goal of AnonCreds v2.0 is to retain and extend the privacy-preserving features of AnonCreds v1.0, while improving capabilities, performance, extensibility, and security.

Meeting Preliminaries:

Welcome and Introductions
Announcements:
- AnonCreds Rust 0.2.0-dev1 released! Update to AnonCreds CL Signatures implementation with fixes and performance improvements.

Agenda

Hyperledger Labs Agora – an implementation of (the planned) AnonCreds 2.0 – and more!
- "Unknown Order" library – wrapper of all the well known BigNumber libraries – pick a back end, go...
  - Constant time libraries for security.
  - Why "unknown order" – don't know the order unless you know the secret – MPC relies on a group of Big Nums unknown_order – blob of binary that you have to know about to interpret
  - Side note: class groups is coming for a similar purpose
- Paillier RS
- blsful ("Blissful") – BLS Signatures – everything in BLS Signatures, and what's needed in AnonCreds 2.0.
  - Signing, verifying, threshold signing, assembling
  - Algomar proofs Key shares
  - sign_crypt – sign and encrypt/decrypt and verify
  - Wrapper around Intel's blst ("Blast") library – hides
- CredX – anoncreds 2.0
  - Not part of Agora – likely to go to AnonCreds directly.
  - Being worked to break out the components, so CredX is more glue, less cryptography.
Open Discussion

Future Calls

Collect some use case specific examples and continue the discussions:
- Applying the data structures to a real use case or two
  - Take an existing AnonCreds Schema (maybe this) and Credential Definition (maybe this) and define what it would be using Mike's proposed data models.
    - Where would the data models exist, such as on ledger, in the AnonCreds specification?
- What concrete uses other than link-secret is there for blinded data in a credential?

To Dos:

Schema Claim Type:

Would it make sense defining encodings for date related schema claim types that are especially useful to use in ZKP predicates?
- "iso860_date" – encodes to dateint e.g., 2023.06.26 is 20230626
- "iso860_datetime" - encodes to Unix Time e.g., seconds since Jan 1, 1970
Yes – these would be "numbers" by type, but with special encoding handling.
