  • Aries Shared:
    • indy-vdr (Andrew Whitehead) https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-vdr
      • Remaining work: Design doc, FFI, testing, CI / CD
      • As an Aries interface becomes standardized, will add that API layer
      • Split out an Indy-Util to contain common components between Indy-VDR and Indy-Credx
        • Need to check that duplicate copies of the util library doesn't cause trouble.
      • GitHub actions runs unit tests and basic integration tests
      • VON Network browser moved to Indy-VDR instead of LibIndy (no wallet needed because it is stateless)
      • Andrew working a large refactor in a PR
      • Put rich shemas behind a feature flag?
    • indy-credx and aries-credx
    • Aries-Shared-Util

    • Release 0.4.5 is on PyPi.
    • Revocation support has merged into master and is likely to included in the next release. Some smoothing of the edges happening.
      • Note: uses anoncreds 1.0 (hence, tails files) and so will be constrained in use cases to those with small numbers of credentials (e.g. ~25k per RevReg.)
  • Aries-Framework-Go (Troy) #aries-go
  • Aries-SDK-Ruby (Jack)
  • Aries-Framework-DotNet (Tomislav)
    • Release last week for Aries compatibility with ACApy and LibVCX (RFC 0094)

  • Ursa
    • 0.4.0 scheduled for late March
      • Improved hash to curve algorithm
      • Updates to AMCL wrapper
    • To replace libsodium, need to have a replacement for the anoncrypt / authcrypt sealed box for pack / unpack.
      • Can be done in Ursa with two steps, but might add as a single function call.

RFC Progress

Other Business

Future of this meeting

  • We recognize as a community that each of us needs to adapt to current global events: improving the upstream open source libraries is likely to be slower.
    • No apology is needed if people take longer to respond to things.
    • Richard's role changed, so we need a change in host.
    • Fewer meetings and more async collaboration?
