Shigeya Suzuki, Wolf McNally, and I will be holding a public Side Meeting on Monday, July 24, during IETF 117 in San Francisco, to discuss drafting a Problem Statement and Areas of Work for hash-based elision and our current Gordian Envelope I-D. If you're interested in our new privacy-focused data format, we'd love to have you participate:
* Gordian Envelope (& dCBOR) * Monday July 24th, 15:30-17:00 * IETF 117, Golden Gate 4 Room (seats 16) Gordian Envelope is a structured format that allows for the hierarchical formatting of data in a privacy-focused way. It does so by using hash-based elision: even after data is removed, its hash remains, allowing signatures and proofs to remain valid. The elision is entirely holder-based. This is vitally important for use cases such as credentials or records because it allows the subject to decide what they share while not impinging on the validity of those credentials. The Internet-Draft on Gordian Envelope is available here: * https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mcnally-envelope/ After our initial presentation to Dispatch at IETF 116, we were advised to prepare a preliminary Problem Statement and Areas of Work, which we have a start on at: * https://hackmd.io/GqY8eZtMQQygjuAn3aj1Ow We have not yet submitted this as an I-D yet because we'd like some additional discussion on the needs of the community for privacy-focused data and what the most critical Areas of Work would be for advancing the specification, with the hope of being able to move on to a proper Birds of a Feature in the near future. We hope you'll join us for this discussion. There may also be some discussion of dCBOR (deterministic CBOR), since that's the foundation of Envelope, but the higher-level Gordian Envelope work will be the main focus of the meeting. --- Christopher Allen Blockchain Commons
