Agenda

Open Issues

Future Calls

To Dos:

  • Issue to talking about what AnonCreds verifies and what is left to the issuer to verify.

  • Revocation Interval

    • Approach to determine if the holder used an acceptable RevRegistry – see this Issue comment

    • Who calls the AnonCreds method to get the Revocation Registry from the ledger for verification

      • 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.

      • 4. General point: AnonCreds should return both a summary (true/false) and if false, additional data about why it was false.

    • Decision – add an optional `at_from_ts` set of entries, one per NRP, that AnonCreds can use for determining if the holder_ts is within the Presentation Request interval.
