• Karim Stekelenburg (Animo) <karim@animo.id>

• @Jakub Koci(Absa) <jakub.koci@gmail.com>

• @shonjs (KBA) <rush2shon@gmail.com>

• Rename agency to mediator

  • In line with RFCs, easier to understand

• Without dependency injection in V1. How can custom handlers / modules / services make use of other services?

  • No custom handlers/ modules / services in v1.

  • after that with agent context.

• improve logger by adding multiple log levels

• message validation

  • Where should we do this?

    • Easy: one time after transforming to class instance.

    • However when protocols have custom validation errors (e.g. issue credential) this will fail.

  • No problem to have each handler handle it

• Validation of sender key

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/71 

  • Discuss flow

  • Connection invitation can use public did, final connection can use another did.

  • don't store `theirKey` until signed connection response

• Inbound / Outbound notation

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/71

  • idea: don't return outbound message in handlers, just the agent message

  • @Timo Glastra will show example next week

• Schema API

  • registerNym / geNym vs registerPublicDid / getPublicDid
