Move this to next meeting -tbc @Scott Perry

~ 20 mins

Focussed discussion on X.509 to DID bridge and the different ways this could be done, review Alex’s idea in the spec

 

Tim

  • Add digest over the DIDDoc question, like a docker image

  • We are almost reinventing message authentication codes (MACs)

  • 1. Mapping can be single value

  • 2. Mapping can be a one to many relationship

  • 3. Mapping at a point in time is reflected by a digest

  • Leaning towards SAN

Jo and Tim

  • Getting into the weeds of the DIDDoc isn’t worth the effort, but an acknowledgement may be enough

Jesse

  • SAN can be an array - one to many relationship

~ 30 mins

Review current state of spec AND updates made by Alex & Jesse

 

 Needs to be some type of challenge/response

  • The signed mapping /relationship is unequivocal. Leading up to this signed mapping - there may be additional safeguards/gov mechanisms put in place. However, those are management/gov issues not technical issues. It is up to the issuer on how to decide that. We’re just scoping out the unequivocal mechanism of how the bridges connect

  • The syntax needs to be unequivocal, the semantics is not for us to decide

  • REQUIREMENT For an X.509 to relate to a DID, the DID must assert control over the same keypair. The entity is the controller over the key pairs on both sides. 

  • Potential for a section of the DIDDoc verification relationship called “bridgeMethod”

5 mins

  • Assign homework for attendees to fill out sections in more detail using the “cryptographic bridge” and “non-cryptographic bridge” structure
