Mission

The mission of  the TSWG Technical Architecture Task Technology Architecture Task Force (TATF) is a task force of the ToIP Technology Stack Working Group. The mission of the TATF is to draft a TSS (ToIP Standard Specification) the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification that defines the overall technical requirements for the four layers of the ToIP stack. This TF will be specifically focused on adapting the current version of the Hyperledger RFC defining the ToIP stack to become our foundational TSS. Note: this TSS  Note: this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture TSSSpecification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF. (The full set of first-generation ToIP Governance Stack specifications are described in this ToIP blog post.)

Deliverables

...

#1: ToIP Technology Architecture Specification

The primary deliverable of this Task Force is the ToIP Technical Architecture Specification—a specification of the overall architectural requirements for each of the four layers of

...

the ToIP stack and how

...

each is abstracted from the layer below.

...

The requirements in this specification will guide the selection and/or development of a set of component specifications as required to enable the complete four layer stack. See the Evolution of the ToIP Stack for a full backgrounder on the development stages for the ToIP stack.

#2: ToIP Primer for Policymakers

A second deliverable of this Task Force is a document written explicitly for policymakers, governing authorities, analysts, and other non-technical audiences who need to deeply understand the purpose, uses, and implications of the ToIP stack but do not need (or want) to dive into the technical details. Work on this document has not yet commenced, but a link will be added here as soon as it has.

Milestones

The first major milestone of the Task Force is publication of the first public review draft of the ToIP Technical Architecture V1.0 Specification prior to the Fall Internet Identity Workshop, Nov 15-17, 2022.

The next milestones are the publication of the second public review draft (and, if necessary, a third), followed by the publication of the final 1.0 specification.
