Project proposal applying to move Aries Askar to OWF #43

Closed swcurran closed 1 month ago

swcurran commented 1 month ago

A project proposal applying to move a component of Hyperledger Aries to OWF.

Askar is an open-source, secure storage and key management service implemented in Rust (with wrappers for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript), designed to support the needs of decentralized trust systems within and beyond the Aries ecosystem. It is a critical component that securely manages cryptographic keys, credentials, and other sensitive data used in decentralized identity frameworks. Askar is the secure storage/key management solution for Credo-TS, ACA-Py, Identus, Aries VCX, and other decentralized trust projects.
