25 mindid:tdw Task Force (DTTF) ProposalAll

The proposed charter of this new TF for the did:tdw DID method is here. It is based on a draft spec here: https://bcgov.github.io/trustdidweb/. TSWG members were not able to review the charter in real time as the Confluence wiki was down. However we had the following discussion:

  • This DID method is another approach to using self-certifying identifiers (SCIDs) in a web context
    • It maintains the key event log (KEL) as a JSONL file with JSON Patches for each update.
  • Drummond explained that Stephen Curran was on vacation and not able to attend today's meeting, but wanted the discussion on the proposed charter to proceed.
  • There is an "overlap" with did:webs - need to delineate things more clearly (in spec, not charter?)
    • did:webs uses KERI AIDs
    • did:tdw uses simpler way of generating the SCID and maintaining the KEL.
    • Sam Smith: 
      • Gave background about how did:webs evolved with KERI and GLEIF
        • Stephen Curran  was a did:webs co-chair until last December
        • M. Sabadello was brought in by GLEIF to add did:webs support to the Universal Resolver
      • Sam disagrees with Darrell’s “leveling up security” comment. Sam does not agree that security is a gradient.
        • Sam ToIP “doesn’t have standards”
      • Interoperable Security - “designer security” (20 years ago, NIST build ECDSA using “designer security”).
        • “Let the adopter decide” is the antithesis of interoperable security.
        • At some point ToIP must decide “none shall pass”
    • Summary: Sam does not support for DTTF formation until did:webs fracture is resolved.
    • We agreed that we consensus was reached to support formation at this meeting, but what was needed was the following:

ACTION: Drummond Reed and Darrell O'Donnell to work with Judith Fleenor to arrange a special dedicated meeting after Stephen Curran has returned to discuss the reasons for stepping back from the did:webs effort and creating did:tdw.
