Related Specifications and Repositories:
AnonCreds v1.0:
The v1.0 specification is published here: https://hyperledger.github.io/anoncreds-spec/
The Working Group uses this GitHub repository to manage the specification: https://github.com/hyperledger/anoncreds-spec
The AnonCreds Methods Registry: https://hyperledger.github.io/anoncreds-methods-registry
The v1.0 implementation in Rust is here: https://github.com/hyperledger/anoncreds-rs
The v1.0 implementation is dependent on this Rust CL Signatures implementation: https://github.com/hyperledger/anoncreds-clsignatures-rs
AnonCreds v2.0
The initial framework for the v2.0 specification repository is here: https://github.com/hyperledger/anoncreds-spec-v2
The v2.0 implementation in Rust is here: https://github.com/hyperledger/anoncreds-v2-rs
Underlying AnonCreds v2.0 are cryptographic libraries in Hyperledger Labs Agora

Agenda
Survey about the various privacy preserving verifiable credential efforts taking place.
Digital Bazaar - W3C VC-DI-BBS
Academic/Research
Internet Initiative Japan Inc.
Portage (Canada)
Oracle Labs
Hyperledger AnonCreds v2
VC-DI-BBS Specification and AnonCreds V2 – getting to collaboration?
BBS Signatures specification is moving through IETF – https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-bbs-signatures/
Incubation happening at DIF
DHS has announced support for using BBS Signatures for selective disclosure and unlinkability
Intended approach is to use Parallel Signatures, and to sign VCs with a NIST approved signature and BBS Signatures
W3C Working Group has a release candidate spec – vc-di-bbs
Selective disclosure, unlinkability, holder binding, pseudonyms (issuer and holder defined) (directed identifiers)
Left off – revocation (!!), blinded secret, claim equality, set membership, range proof, signed integer
RDF Canonicalization is used – JSON-LD-based, and same as other VC-DI cryprosuites
Getting BBS Support into AnonCreds v2
Started, but not complete
Audit:
blsful - audit complete and published in Agora
Focus: Key Share Proofs
Audit complete: Genaro to be contributed
Verifiable secret sharing – under audit

Open Discussion
Using an accumulator or a bloom filter as a space-efficient way to enable set membership of hashes? For example:
Up to a million high-entropy hashes
Only needed query: "is hash XYZ in the set (Y/N)?" – e.g., given hash XYZ and the database (accumulator, bloom filter), can I answer that question?
XOR filter
