Discussion

Discussion ended here.  The following was not discussed in detail

• First 5 characters of a hash – of what?

  • Genesis File

    • What Genesis File?  Domain (does not change - first n transactions on the ledger), Pool (does change - inevitable as it contains IP:port of nodes)

      • Proposal: Use the Domain Genesis File hash

      • Pool file is required to contact nodes of the network.

      • If Domain, what to do if there is a fork?

        • Proposal: Domain Genesis file contains the first n records after the fork, as the sequence number is the same

• Should an "alias" be allowed as TrustBloc uses?

  • From Troy Ronda: A quick update on our did:trustbloc handling of multiple networks. With the ability to specify a canonical DID in the DID document, we are adding the ability to have both discoverable domains in the DID - e.g., did:trustbloc:domain:suffix and also to have a stable consortium genesis identifier - e.g., did:trustbloc:<consortium genesis hash>:suffix. The canonical DID would become the <consortium genesis hash> version such that the resolution of discoverable domain DIDs would point to this canonical DID in the resolution result.

  • TrustBloc alias example:

    • did:trustbloc:testnet.trustbloc.dev:s3did12345

    • https://testnet.trustbloc.dev/.well-known/did-trustbloc/org1.sandbox.trustbloc.dev.json

      • Configuration file – equivalent to the Indy Pool Genesis File

  • So Indy might use: 

    • <domain> alias is :example.com, https://example.com/.well_known/did-indy/ ??

      • Perhaps a folder with current ledger pool genesis file (to find the ledger) and ledger domain genesis file (to find/check the hash)

• If the DID to be resolved is NOT using an alias, how is the Pool Genesis File found?

  • Known by all that need to know it?

  • Registry? GitHub?
