Hi All,
Apache Milagro received a donation of a software client called a Decentralized Trust Authority, which is built upon the Apache Milagro Crypto-C library. This software client is part of the evolution of Apache Milagro. It is in its own repo at: https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-dta This donation contains the ‘in-development’ alpha version of the new Decentralized Trust Authority software client which we would like to release broadly in a series of staged releases until a final GA version in Q4. We would like to get the alpha release out asap, followed by a beta, then an RC1 and finally a GA version. The vision is that the D-TA will be the server process that functions as the master key generation server for a) issuing Type-3 pairing/identity based secrets for M-Pin clients and servers (the original D-TA version) and b) safeguard shares of secrets, like Bitcoin private keys, as an example. The problem with the initial version of the M-Pin client/server code into Milagro was that there was no standardized way to issue identity based secrets for M-Pin clients and servers, and a Trust Authority was conflated with the authentication server. This fixes that design limitation and enables a broader set of functional use cases to be addressed, particular for protecting cryptocurrency private keys and other high value secrets. The D-TA contains a dependency on an embedded IPFS service, which is licensed under the non-conflicting MIT license: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/blob/master/LICENSE The IP clearance form can be found at: http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/milagro-dta.html once the website updates. The XML form has been posted to: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/milagro-dta.xml and the index.xml file has been updated.
