TSWG Layer 1 Spec TF

TSWG Layer 1 Spec TF

per TSWG meeting on 21SEP2020, TASK:

Establish Task Force for a Layer 1 Spec Deliverable 

Members: @Drummond Reed @Darrell O'Donnell @Kevin Griffin @Philip Feairheller
Due Date: 30-Sep-20



Task Force Charter - a basic what's in/out for scope:



Technical Interoperability definition for the interactions between Layer 2 and Layer 1

Focus should be on:

  • REQUIRED

    • CRUD for:

      • DID - Anchoring DIDs with key rotation (includes possible KERI support)

      • DID Document

      • anything else?

      • Sovrin/Indy:

        • CredDefs

        • SchemaDefs

        • what else?

    • Reference to Governance Framework that explains:

      • Adherence to main ToIP Principles <NEED LINK>

      • <TODO: flesh out various principles>

  • OPTIONAL(Limited list of OTHER items):

    • DID Document serving (CRUD)

    • do we need anything as granular as getNodes() / getConsensusStatus() / getObservers()...

    • How should the Layer 1/2 spec tie in with Layer 1 governance frameworks (coordinate with GSWG)



Task Force Scope:

  • Define what a Layer 1 Specification MUST and SHOULD include.

  • Stick to the bare minimum. If a system can do various operations normally at a higher-layer, or if tailoring is required at a higher layer, it may belong there.
