The Trust Spanning Protocol Task Force (TSPTF) is a task force of the ToIP Technology Stack Working Group. The mission of the TSWG is to draft the ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol V1.0 Specification meeting to meet the requirements for ToIP Layer 2 as specified in the ToIP Technology Architecture V1.0 Specification. Since this protocol is the keystone for interoperability of the ToIP stack, the TSPTF intends to reach out across all other orgs in the space (e.g., Decentralized Identity Foundation, Hyperledger, OpenWallet Foundation, W3C Credentials Community Group) for collaboration on this effort.
For a complete overview of the development process for the ToIP technology stack, see Evolution of the ToIP Stack. See also this ToIP blog post announcing the launch of this new task force.
Deliverables
The deliverable of this Task Force is the ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol Specification that must meet the 18 requirements for the ToIP Layer 2 protocol as specified in the ToIP Technology Architecture V1.0 Specification. The requirements in this specification must interoperate with other ToIP component specifications as explained in the Evolution of the ToIP Stack.
