Status of I&D Work Items: JavaScript DID JWT #9

Open peacekeeper opened 3 years ago

peacekeeper commented 3 years ago

Hello @pelle, @mirceanis.. Your repositories did-jwt, did-jwt-vc are one of the work items in the DIF Identifiers and Discovery Working Group (I&D WG).

We haven't heard from you about this in a while... Would you mind letting us know:

  1. Do you still want your repo to be listed as a DIF work item, and are you still the lead(s) for this work item?
  2. Could you write a short summary here in this thread about the current status? Is it ongoing? Finished? Archived?
  3. (Optional) Would you like to give an update on one of the weekly I&D WG calls (starting again in September - see agenda page for schedule)?

Hi, @peacekeeper.

Both libraries are maintained and very much alive, and I think they should still be listed as DIF items. I am currently the only lead maintainer.

did-jwt provides creation and verification capabilities for JWTs with DID issuers. Recently it got encryption capabilities too that also relate to DIDs, and it is likely going to be refactoted into a more modular architecture.

did-jwt-vc uses did-jwt to implement Verifiable Credential and Presentation creation and verification using the JWT encoding. After did-jwt is modularized, it might become a module of it. Also, the library is a useful ground to discover the edge cases of the VC spec.

I hope this info helps
