Review of previous action items

Chairs

•  ACTION: Alex Tweeddale and Jesse Carter to present outcomes of discussion on:
  - editing tools
  - proposed structure of the spec

- Standardised pointer structure: As we go through the exercise of putting the initial MVP identifiers together, it will hopefully expose an underlying pattern of structure which we can then use to build out a model that we can share with other ecosystems

- Proposed idea, start with a “Minimum viable” set of identifiers - DIDs, X.509 and DNS which then we can iterate out from afterwards
- work assignments to achieve first draft

Open discussion points from previous NA/EU meeting

All

How should we structure the spec and break up the work? How long should we give ourselves (realistically) to have a full Working Draft?

• DID to DNS

• DNS to DID

• X.509 to DID

• DID to X.509

• DNS to X.509

• X.509 to DNS

Tim Bouma :

• From Root to Resource

• Technical side should be very simple

• How do you traverse from governance ecosystem A to governance ecosystem B? This is likely out of scope.

Drummond Reed :

• We should point to ISO spec about including vLEI in X.509 cert

• How much governance and how do we want to approach it? Three options

  • 1. Technical requirements with a governance consideration

  • 2. Section of the spec generally on governance considerations

  • 3. Governance is going to be a separate document

Alex Tweeddale :

• Could we have a pointer to governance frameworks, rather than a full consideration of the governance frameworks between ecosystem A and B?

Tim Bouma : Root to record, record to root:

• Mapping from a non-cryptographic identifier to a cryptographic identifier:

• When you are dealing with non-cryptographic identifier (e.g. DNS record), the question is how do you make sure that is legitimate (DNSSEC)

• Root to Record

  • Cryptographic to non-cryptographic

  • Public key with corresponding private key

  • Public key can generate a signature and sign a record, saying e.g. this domain name is mine, and I will assign it a fixed signature

  • If you know the public key, you can look up that record and see that it is signed by that public key

• Record to Root

  • Non-Cryptographic to cryptographic

  • http://Example.com has no way to sign that it actually owns that public key, this is where you need to rely on

    • Proper authentication and management to say that you own that public key

    • Challenge response mechanism

    • If that public key signs my record back, that gives assurance

Jesse Carter

• Importance of bi-directional binding

• We have to consider where do we put the bi-directional relationship, and how do we validate / ensure that the bi-directional relationship is being honoured

Assignment of work items for spec first draft

All

Scott Perry

• Registered OID

• Isn’t supposed to be extended key usage (but can use other X.509 extensions)

• Found a place to tie the OID to the identifier

Tim Bouma

• Domain name will be in the “common name” of X.509
