• Provenant has staging witnesses that can be used for developer experiments, as long as usage is light:

• W3C  VCWG
  
  • Ongoing discussion  https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/issues/947#issuecomment-1323051496
  • IIW backroom conversations to build support for compromises.
  • Net outcome:  The proposal to break the strong association with Linked Data will be denied
  • One proposal was to rename the current group to "VC-LD" which has been rejected without a vote.
    • They are name squatting on the phrase "Verifiable Credential"
  • Sam proposed that the VC spec should be layered with an authentication, authorization and presentation layers underneath the payload. 
    • The payload could then be a "bag of triples" if that's what you want.
• IIW
  • Update
    • Authentic Web manifesto talk needs further discussion and fleshing out.  Notes incoming from Neil.
    • Interacting with Markus Sabadello and Stephen Curren to integrate ACDCs and KERI into Aries and DID Ecosystems.
      • Fixing did:keri method and did:keri resolver
    • CESRox Session 
    • CESR for First Years
    • Extending DIDComm for general data exchange
    • Tao of the Trust Spanning Layer
    • Interop Status session and DIDCom Interop session - Roots wallet was involved.
    • How to become a QVI.  Using the KERI/ACDC software in live demonstration.
    • DID method Death Match: Did:KERI  0:1 scale .99999 for KERI 
    • AnonCreds anchor in a KERI KELS
• System Design Tradeoffs
  • SKWA vs Signify - where is this information captured? Time for a short doc expanding on the tradeoffs? 
    • SKWA - if you have your own infrastructure (on prem) you use SKWA to authenticate against those agents.
      • Signing happens in the cloud
      • Access control to the agent service
    • Signify - with infrastructure hosted (custodial) in the cloud you can do signing in the client and protect the keys in the cloud.  (Provides protection for the key holder and the service provider)
      • The only place the keys are in the clear is in the client.
      • All event heavy lifting happens in the cloud.  
      • Keys are stored encrypted in the cloud.
      • Key generation and signing in the client
      • Key Storage, Event generation/validation, event signing in the cloud
