  • 2022-02-02 Meeting Notes
    
    • Reference implementations (i.e. where Ursa is used?)
      1. BLS signatures:  great example.  Indy plenum calls Ursa through Ursa python and gets BLS signatures.
      2. BBS+:  supposed to be used, but code being copied rather than called.  
      3. Great for an intern project because no math knowledge is needed.
      4. Moving the meeting back an hour not to conflict with Aries meeting.
    • R1CS PR:
      1. Needs test code, license headers.
    • How to get started:  Aries cloud agent.

      • 20 Oct 2022 Meeting: https://wiki.trustoverip.org/display/HOME/2022-10-20+GSWG+Meeting+Notes
        • An ecosystem governance framework (EGF) would need to set policies of some kind at all four layers of the architecture.
        • An EGF would most likely need to set policies for the actors/parties playing specific roles, but less so for governing specific components.
        • The Museum Pass family of use cases is actually a very good exercise of the whole ToIP stack. In particular, there are at least 3 different trust tasks involved at Layer 3:
          1. Verifiable credential exchange (issuance, presentation).
          2. Appointment/ticket scheduling.
          3. Payment.
