Agenda
Issue Game: Can we close this? (15 min -) - issues (as time permits): 290, 77, 225, 122
Decisions 122 closed, 290 BCGov will pursue, 77 and 225
Should the ~service decorator be part of AIP 1.0.0? PR link. @Richard Esplin
Evernym reviewed the RFC and discussed the ACApy implementation. Our concerns are resolved.
New ACApy test showing how a return response endpoint would be routed through two or more mediators.
Proposal for adding RFC 348 to AIP 1.0
Advantages:
Would start a transition period to the new approach.
Reduces pressure on the next version of Aries Interop Profile
Concerns:
Doesn't seem to fit the scope of AIP 1.0 (define credential exchange in practice today)
What does it mean to require support of a transitional feature from a compliance perspective?
Connection Blues - Continued - @Sam Curren/ @Stephen Curran
Using DIDs to use existing invitation
When an invitation starts from a Public DID, this should be retained by the agent.
Future invitation Public DIDs can be looked up to see if an existing relationship exists.
New DID Exchange Message from invitee saying "I'm going to use this existing connection, but exercise a new invitation"
Connect→Then Invitations
How to best compose messages?
Nicely accommodate connectionless messages.
The Then is more semantically important than the Connection
Safe URL redirectors
What to avoid
Is there a way to do this safely?
Can we do this with DIDComm? (An Expand Message Protocol?)
Attachment? (Can fetch from place x), with integrity check and possibly decryption key
ACApy/Credential F2 Registry HighVolume Performance Testing - @Stephen Curran
