Deliverables

Augment Indy Plenum with support for managing Group DIDs representing DLT networks
Augment Indy SDK to add methods to create and manage Group DIDs
(Optional) Augment Indy VDR (future replacement for Indy SDK) to add methods to create and manage Group DIDs
Create sample Indy testnet as model IIN (verifiable data registry) with support for maintaining Group DIDs and associated VCs
Create trust anchor module built on Hyperledger Aries to represent a consortium that issues VCs to a group represented by a Group DID
Upgrade Cacti Fabric IIN Agent to connect to an IIN and sync identities and certificates from another network
Create Cacti Corda IIN Agent to connect to an IIN and sync identities and certificates from another network
Write appropriate configuration files for IIN Agents, IIN Trust Anchors, and IIN testnet
Update Corda CLI to launch IIN Agents
Unit and Integration tests
Update Decentralized Identity-related RFCs
Write tutorial documents for users to configure and launch an IIN and appropriate IIN Agents for the participating DLT networks

Milestones

Eval 1:

Research: understand Indy networks, DID and VC concepts, Indy SDK, existing Cacti-Weaver identity management protocols (RFCs)

Update design specifications (RFCs) as required based on research output

Implement: Indy Plenum support for Group DIDs (using partially existing code as the base)

Eval 2:

Implement: Indy SDK support for Group DIDs

Implement and configure: Sample IIN

Implement: trust anchor module
Publish Docker images for IIN and trust anchor modules

Eval 3:

Implement: Fabric IIN Agents to depend on IINs and sync memberships (with unit tests)

Demonstrate end-to-end data sharing for Fabric networks using IIN Agents

Implement: Corda IIN Agents to depend on IINs and sync memberships (with unit tests)

Eval 4:

Implement: Corda CLI support to configure and launch IIN Agents
Write tutorial documentation to guide users
Add appropriate Github Actions for integration testing
TBD: Optional deliverables
