Agenda

  • Update on BC Gov Code With Us – ACA-Py Indy-SDK to Askar conversion script - Indicio
  • Update on ACA-Py Container Scanning (brought up last meeting)
    • There are scanner options in Hyperledger, but not chosen.
      • Snyk is a possibility, Qualys was also used and both produced the same results.
    • Based on the testing, the base images were updated to bullseye, which contains no current critical vulnerability.
    • Would like to have multi-architecture release.
  • Messages getting stuck when a connection is being established.
    • Message sent to the mediator, received, but connection not setup and message getting stuck.
    • Race condition.
    • Workaround in Bifold, but fix should be in the mediators – hence in ACA-Py/AFJ mediators.
    • On making a connection, the mediator routing and the connection are done in parallel, vs. serial.
    • Issues in ACA-Py and AFJ submitted – each need to be investigated.
    • Indicio to do more investigation
  • Adding a Documentation site for ACA-Py - as nice as the AFJ one - https://aries.js.org/
    • PR: 2079 – tricky part is the multiple version support.
    • Proposed approach:
      • Use docusaurus
      • Static site generated from new repo – https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-acapy-docs
      • Landing page in new repo, version specific documentation in folders.
      • GHA manually added for each supported ACA-Py release – automate this in future via a PR created with ACA-Py tag released.
        • Fetch tagged branch from ACA-Py into temp folder
        • Generate a root document if not present (used to support tags created in the past) – else, use one in ACA-Py.
        • Generate the required RST documents for the ACA-Py internal documentation currently used by Read The Docs (using Python doc strings).
        • (Re-)Generate static pages for the tag into correct folder in the docs repo.
      • For now, periodically run the GHA for the "main" branch manually – automate this in the future to run either nightly or when an ACA-Py PR is merged.
      • Publish to "acapy.org" domain.
  • Next Release?
    • 0.7.6 or 0.8.0 (depending on breaking changes)
    • Not a cherry-picked release – everything in main branch
    • Issues include fixing/adding revocation notification issues
  • Issue 2029: Additional security controls for webhooks for multi-tenancy
    • Added as a PR and then closed, to be refactored as a plugin
    • Enables key updates via an admin interface call.
  • Open Discussion:
    •  
    • Does anyone use/see a use case for Web Sockets and Return Route beyond ACA-Py as a mobile agent mediator?
