Topic: Introductions and Reintroductions

Christopher Allen:  Introductions & re-intros
  ... Bob Dolan? You on? Christian Lundquist?
Lionel Wolberger:  Walberger involved for a while, under many 
  hats, focused on verifiable claims, platin.io base  our insights 
  on university research, excited to bring muscle to the space
  ...working with standards created here
  ...looking forward to attending tpac

Topic: Announcements

Christopher Allen: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/announcements/
Christopher Allen:  Agenda item: announcemments
Christopher Allen:  2 Big things, tpac in a couple of weeks, a 
  few of us are going to Lyon, big annual meeting of w3c members.
  ... we are scheduled with our own time and the verifiable 
  claims working group has a couple of days and will be visiting 
  other working group meetings to talk about DIDs
Christopher Allen:  Ideally by the end of the year we have a vote 
  on a DID charter
Manu Sporny: W3C TPAC Schedule: 
  https://www.w3.org/2018/10/TPAC/schedule.html
Manu Sporny:  On this schedule credentials group is two hours 
  from 1:30-2:30 on Tuesday, need to figure out what we want to say
  ....Wednesday breakout sessions, this is our big push! we are 
  making buttons and the whole purpose is to try and get as many 
  memberships on board
  ...ccg is also having a joint meeting with web commerce meeting 
  as well, then verifiable credentials after that
  ... do not have to be a CCG member to attend.
Christopher Allen: http://iiw.idcommons.net
Chris Webber:  Iiw at the same time, link above
Nate Otto: Folks who are in Lyon, you may want to check out ePIC 
  in Paris on the way back Oct 24-26: general topics related to 
  open recognition -- a little less technical and more about 
  developing the metaphors and practices that result in 
  decentralizing credentials. About 125 very interesting people 
  tend to attend. https://epic.openrecognition.org/
Lionel Wolberger:  Would be interested in having a call with 
  Digital Bazaar crew, would like to coordinate on TPAC further, 
  how do we do that? How do I get my button?
Christopher Allen:  Can't speak for schedules on Monday, I plan 
  to be there Monday but will be on weird sleeping hours.
Heather Vescent: +1 For Manu's suggestion
Manu Sporny:  We need to spend time leading up to coordinate and 
  put 20 min per call dedicated to tpac, must have a unified 
  message.
Dan Burnett: +1 To coordinating in advance.  A number of us are 
  insanely busy during TPAC, and agreeing in advance is critical.
Lionel Wolberger:  We haven't been doing crypto Tuesdays
Christopher Allen:  We haven't had the cryptographers for Crypto 
  Tuesday,
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Wondering for those not going to W3C 
  TPAC - want to help more. Helpful for me to reach out to other 
  companies that will be using DIDs? Interest? [scribe assist by 
  Manu Sporny]
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Are people going for tpac. wants to help 
  more. Is it helpful to reach out to companies who are using DIDs. 
  And get a list of them going [scribe assist by Heather Vescent]
  ... we need to coordinate IP legalities so we can get more 
  groups here
Samantha Mathews Chase:  How can we get more companies on board, 
  is it helpful to collect support
Manu Sporny:  Yes super helpful, need to be very targeted, need 
  to prove that this work is worth doing
  ...they find companies that are implementing and deploying 
  products, they weigh big companies vs. tiny companies
  ... we want companies with a strong commitment to identity
  ...if sam or anyone else on the call can target the larger 
  companies
  ... they have to be committed, w3c wants to see that these 
  companies will be joining and membership will go up
Lionel Wolberger: Former effort of collecting which companies are 
  engaging with DIDs: 
  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n0fe8g-13ZPfaWPNyL8T2GFE2ktv-TYYXJFr73Gnb3M/edit#gid=1240207141
Manu Sporny: Explainer for support for DIDS: 
  https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-credentials/2018Sep/0012.html
Manu Sporny: Specific google form is here: 
  https://goo.gl/forms/Yg3kPYN5OjlSbowQ2
Lionel Wolberger: Resending this list, to be merged with new 
  survey: 
  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n0fe8g-13ZPfaWPNyL8T2GFE2ktv-TYYXJFr73Gnb3M/edit#gid=1240207141
Manu Sporny:  Please distribute among your readership, everything 
  helps
Manu Sporny: +1 To what heathervescent just said... that would be 
  the most effective.
Heather Vescent:  A bunch of people that are friendly in the 
  community, really effective to send a direct email to someone
  ....are we coordinating with DIF at all?
  .... already put some stuff on the slack channel, it reminds 
  people they should do it.
Manu Sporny:  Need to give this more time and underscore what 
  heather said, direct emails to companies that have direct plans 
  to use DIDs
  ... apologize for the short nature of this, not ideal but we 
  ran out of time and we're at the point if we don't get it out by 
  next week it won't get circulated. I'm hoping to have the first 
  wave of feedback by next Friday, so we have time to get it 
  circulated
Christopher Allen:  Any questions on how to evangelize?
Ryan Grant:  Sometimes I get confused about where companies are 
  putting their energy on these things
Kaliya Young: They fit together in a round about way.
Ryan Grant: Question was regarding DIF
Christopher Allen:  Dif is it's own organization at this point, 
  there was a particular IP issue that was raised at rebooting
Manu Sporny:  Did have a series of conversations with them, they 
  fit together sort of, for now all incubation of ideas happen at 
  IIW, RWoT, etc, the output goes to these groups where they are 
  further defined
Ryan Grant: It sounds like DIF is a coalition of corporations 
  that would like to bless certain technologies, "when they're 
  ready"
Dan Burnett: Industry certification
  ...dif works across all those channels but the standards we 
  work on are made and then go out in the wild. After the standards 
  space, how are people deploying this in the world? We still need 
  the orgs to clarify
Christopher Allen: 
  ... they are more focused on uses not standards
Christopher Allen:  Trying to get HTC
Manu Sporny:  Let the large companies know, this is not a 
  commitment, its a notice of interest
  ... it's not that they aren't committing to the working group, 
  they aren't interested in this group happening
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22action+item

Topic: Review Action Items

Manu Sporny: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22action+item%22
Christopher Allen:  At the bottom of the training there was an 
  open item, there's a series of updates, manu any GA on those?
Manu Sporny:  Not yet unfortunately, just waiting for video to be 
  cleaned up
Christopher Allen:  There is a security vulnerability we keep 
  getting messages about, I don't have an assignee for crypto 
  suite, do we have anyone from uport or consensys
Christopher Allen:  Is there someone adept with the crypto suite 
  action item?
Samantha Mathews Chase:  I didn't catch what burn said
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/w3c-ccg/community/blob/master/work_items.md

Topic: Work Items

Dan Burnett:  Best for you to contact Oliver Terbu directly.  He 
  has been accepting such requests on behalf of uPort.  I cannot 
  volunteer him myself. [scribe assist by Dan Burnett]
Lionel Wolberger:  We finished the data minimization paper a 
  while back, joe has mentioned making a report
  ...moving forward
Christopher Allen:  Will be a doc from RWoT, already on track for 
  community group to accept as a report
  ... would like more cryptographic people to review, someone 
  from Microsoft would like to give it a quick pass
  ....hopefully be a report in the next month or so if group 
  approves it
  ... or can move it as an unpublished draft to RWoT drafts
Lionel Wolberger:  Sounds good, we want consensus, it all sounds 
  good
Manu Sporny:  Last RWoT mike lodder and ? get together and talk 
  about VC data model
Manu Sporny: Here's the CL Signature issue on VC Data Model -- 
  https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/issues/237
  ... these are the data structures we are using but means we 
  have to make a new cypto suite to cover those things
  ... don't know when I'll have the time to do it, would be great 
  if someone else can step in, need a cryptographic suite for 
  signatures make sure its compatible with DID
Christopher Allen:  Spoke with several people at Microsoft
Joe Andrieu: The u-prove license is under the "open specification 
  promise" 
  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecifications/dn646765.aspx
  ... need someone from Microsoft community that has been working 
  with u-prove this  cryptographic sig

Topic: New Business

Kaliya Young: According to what I know u-prove patents are 
  expired. Kim (At MSFT) bought the company that held them just 
  before they expired.
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/tree/master/topics-and-advance-readings
Manu Sporny: That's super helpful to know Kaliya, thank you!
Kaliya Young: The other major library for ZKP is IDMixer from IBM 
  Zurich.
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/tree/master/draft-documents

Topic: RWoT7

Christopher Allen:  RWoT was awesome, great topic papers, and 15 
  draft documents written collaboratively
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/Guidance_and_Standards_for_Interoperability_of_Decentralized_Identity_Systems.md
  ... those are at draft docs, in particular there was discussion 
  around guidance and standards around interop. of DID systems
  ... a group of about 15 ppl workng on different approaches of 
  DID
Manu Sporny: Guidance and Standards for Interoperability of 
  Decentralized Identity Systems -- 
  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tDX6LXJn6KITKIvNbbexHfcdWZ9z9TCElC5cZygaacw/edit
Manu Sporny:  Some of the results, its a massive paper, will 
  require help. WE got to go over a ton of guiding principles, the 
  hope is that it will document the requirements and the standards 
  we need to fill in to achieve the vision we have in rebooting
  .... we have a good start, general call for help, please make 
  suggestions and notes and edits
  ... we need all the help we can get
  ... it's such a long paper I don't want it to die before it's 
  finished
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/convincing-dad.md
Christopher Allen:  Other great papers ...DID's for homeless, 
  convincing DAD about DIDs
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/Digital-Identity-for-the-Homeless.md
  ... in particular use cases for pitching DIDs some of these 
  might be relevant for how we pitch them
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Our paper was on Verifiable Offline 
  Credentials... [scribe assist by Manu Sporny]
Samantha Mathews Chase:  We found a massive lack of security in 
  container ships and were able to put together some interesting 
  solutions [scribe assist by Manu Sporny]
Samantha Mathews Chase:  We've talked about this w/ some of the 
  largest container ship company in the world. [scribe assist by 
  Manu Sporny]
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/Use%20Cases%20and%20Proposed%20Solutions%20for%20Verifiable%20Offline%20Credentials.md
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Ideally, we'd do something specific to 
  ship security/identity at some time in the new year. [scribe 
  assist by Manu Sporny]
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/Digital%20Credential%20Wallet.md
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Seaspan interested in hosting a 
  hackathon or exploring security through DIDs and verifiable 
  credentials
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/A_DID_for_everything.md
Kim Hamilton Duffy: Did Ganesh talk about RIPs yet?
Manu Sporny:  Key recovery using navigating a path in a WebVR 
  world
Manu Sporny:  Describes two cool outcomes from RWOT7: offline use 
  cases, and fun game demo for memorizing a private key by walking 
  through a 3d environment.
Dave Longley: That's how "memory palaces" work
Manu Sporny:  Using memory palaces in immersive space to hide 
  keys, walk through an environment and pick things to remember 
  instead of remembering a long string of characters.
Dan Burnett: Yes dlongley you are right. that example came up
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Yes, shout out for offline cryptography 
  - Mike Lodder covered LC4 crypto method. [scribe assist by Manu 
  Sporny]
Samantha Mathews Chase:  In that same two days, Wolf made it into 
  an app that teaches you the muscle memory to encrypt messages 
  easily. [scribe assist by Manu Sporny]
Samantha Mathews Chase:  So you can encrypt using a deck of 
  cards... would be neat to see the first app pushed out at 
  rebooting. I didn't think I'd be doing that in a million years 
  and I loved it. [scribe assist by Manu Sporny]
Joe Andrieu: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/five-mental-models-of-identity.md
Joe Andrieu: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/mental-models.md
Joe Andrieu:  Mental models of identities.. interesting 
  directions, security mental model and continuity mental models
  .... triggered a conversation with nathan george, topology of 
  identity 1,2,3 actors and more and fit that into an interesting 
  frame work
Christopher Allen: 
  https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rwot7/blob/master/draft-documents/resource-integrity-proofs.md
Kim Hamilton Duffy:  Resource integrity proofs, ganesh's paper, 
  my main interest was verifiable displays, realized the problem 
  could be solved with resource integrity proofs, RIPs not focused 
  on displays but perhaps could be used together, solving for 
  linked data that points to an immutable store, checking for 
  tamper detection. If in your credential it points to a human 
  readable display... paper is mostly done and would like some 
  feedback
Heather Vescent: <3 Kim
Christopher Allen:  If u wont be at tpac, go to IIW
Samantha Mathews Chase:  Thanks guys, I'll get better thanks for 
  your patience
Heather Vescent: Thanks all, bye.
Christopher Allen: Thanks~
