• @Wade Barnes (BC Gov / Neoteric Technologies Inc.) <wade@neoterictech.ca>

• @Daniel Bluhm (Indicio PBC) <daniel@indicio.tech>

Announcements

• ACA-Py documentation: https://aca-py.org

Agenda

• Project: Hyperledger AnonCreds Rust in ACA-Py

• PRs and Issues

  • Marshmallow PR #2398

  • Multi-tenant – select ledger for reading/writing – #2339, #2395

  • Nightly Builds #2250

  • Pytest and Flake8 #2400

• Open Discussion

  • OpenID4VC – issuer – make it a companion service that calls into ACA-Py vs. within ACA-Py – Issue #2182

    • Requires adding additional public endpoints beyond the DIDComm endpoint.

    • Keeping it as a separate service that calls into ACA-Py for services – storage, signing, etc. – much like vc-authn-oidc

    • Endpoints for preparing (SD-)JWT credentials – similar to the JSON-LD endpoints we have today – sign/verify

    • Alternative – plugin, so that there is a tighter integration with calling ACA-Py utility functions

  • Code Coverage reports – we used to have a report that said exactly what percent increase/decrease on every PR - Issue #2403

    • CodeCov – no longer being used

    • Add ticket about this

  • Okta integration

    • https://github.com/bcgov/vc-authn-oidc

    • Look at the 2.0-development branch

  • When to stop testing with the Indy SDK? Issue #2402

    • Time to remove those tests? Yes

      • Suggestion: Remove all of the tests from the PR Integration Test runs.

      • Nightly run of Indy tests – let's eliminate that as well.

    • Hypothetical: ACA-Py fix needed for using the Indy SDK

      • Uncomment out the tests and fix as a branch based on the 0.9.0 tag

    • Note: The chance of another Indy SDK release is very unlikely – way too much technical debt in the code base and (non-functioning) CI/CD pipeline.

Upcoming Meeting Topics:

• Discussion Topics:

  • Update on ACA-Py Container Scanning

  • Multi-architecture containers

    • Issue with BBS+ package – doesn't support ARM containers – need an update to their CI

    • Solution: A third container published that includes BBS+ package, but is single architecture

    • Others are Askar
