Agenda — DIDComm User Group Meeting, 2022-08-10

This meeting uses UnSync conventions and takes place on our Discord channel; transcript of actual meeting chat published here. [ charter | meeting archive | schedule ]

1. First item of business: say "hi" on chat

Nothing fancy needed; just a wave. This helps us tell whether we have a quorum, interpret silence, hold people accountable, and know who we're collaborating with.

2. General Announcements

  • Rodolfo's PR about DID rotation has been merged.
  • The DIDComm Working Group discussed what we ought to present about DIDComm at IIW. Recommendation: be thinking about this.
  • The Open Wallet Foundation is starting up (still in formative stages). This is an initiative with Linux Foundation DNA that is going to attempt to define a common interface for wallets -- partly as a counterbalance to Google and Apple defining wallets without any open source influence. If you want to be involved, please contact Jim St. Clair (TOIP slack is a good way to find him).

3. Collaborate on Rich Chat paper?

Karim Stekelenburg of Animo is interested in writing a paper at RWOT (The Hague, Sep 26-30) about building rich chat atop DIDComm. Here is his prospectus.

Proposed closure: Anybody want to collaboate? Anybody have input for him?

4. Steve's note about progress on quantum-safe algorithms.

Steve McCown noted that NIST has made recent progress on certifying some algorithms for post quantum.

Proposed closure: Discuss the following questions on Discord:

  • Does anybody know anything about the equivalent efforts by the EU? (I know such efforts exist, but I don't know their status, the name of the initiative, or whether they are selecting the same algorithms.)
  • Does anybody have any experience using any of the algorithms they're picking?
  • What is consensus on when/how we ought to start experimenting with these?

5. DIDComm v3 wish list

I've begun a hackmd doc listing things I'd like to see in DIDComm v3. We've talked informally about these things, but to my knowledge we didn't have a place to accumulate a written record. So I wanted to invite everyone to add to this and/or refer to this if it's useful: https://hackmd.io/@dhh1128/B1ZdtbZC9/edit

Proposed closure: have a look and add your thoughts. If anything in there doesn't make sense or feels controversial, let's discuss in our UG Discord channel.

6. Existing PRs against didcomm.org

Rodolfo has raised a number of useful PRs against the didcomm.org website repo. A couple have been open since our last meeting.

Proposed closure: @Rodolfo, at least one is marked WIP. Is it still WIP? Setting that one aside, do you believe the ones that are old are ready to merge? I had a look, and they've had some good comments, but I can't tell if we feel settled about them. Please make a recommendation about next steps. Everyone else: please comment, especially on the new ones Rodolfo opened a few days ago.
