RE: I’m also suggesting the CS specification should go further and define an EDV MIcrokerel layer and interface to make EDVs deployable

For example. Consider this use case: https://github.com/decentralized-identity/confidential-storage/issues/173

RE: the EDV spec defines a fully standalone HTTP server with support for authorization, delegation, and replication over HTTP with DIDs...

Thank you, Orie, and, in general, I totally agree.

But I’m also suggesting the CS specification should go further and define an EDV MIcrokerel layer and interface to make EDVs deployable on local devices like iOS and Android apps.  An HTTP interface isn’t very useful in these scenarios.

Also from a security audit and code path traceability perspective, a microkernel architecture and interface will be more secure/securable.

Lastly, what is used to implement the EDV HTTP Server? …what underpins the implementation of the HTTP Serice? …how does it take into account different EDV data vaults mounted on the EDV Server?

Layer A - EDVs currently assumes ZCAP over HTTP authorization, and can stand alone.... we don't need an authorization server, we have DIDs and capabilities.

Now you can layer other stuff on top, to integrate with legacy systems, but technically, the EDV spec defines a fully standalone HTTP server with support for authorization, delegation and replication over http with DIDs... it's currently checked in to the repo, and I am happy to give another demo of it...

I think Layer B accurately captures the Hubs dream :)

p.s. …that is, visually, how is support for each of Daniel's use cases partitioned between CS Services and CS Core (see below)?
…and of these, which should be supported in CS Core version 1? …and which should go into the CS Backlog?

I know this is going to sound repetitive but … at the top of Daniel’s document, can someone add a couple of sentences distinguishing EDVs and Hub?

More specifically, based on last week’s discussion, I sense that the EDV/Hub discussion was more about:

  1.  what belonged in the EDV/CS Core/”EDV Microkernel” as a (version 1) capability (e.g. Change Detection/Change Notifications) vs.
  2.  what was part of a higher level service (e.g. indexing, replication, etc.)?

Does this distinction reflect what was at the heart of last week’s discussion (and this week’s)?

Rest regards,
Michael Herman
