Discussed on B call, Oct 14. Outcome: we're not sure how we want to harmonize this with the Action Menu Protocol and the Please Play Role Protocol. We're going to...
That proposal doesn't sound crazy to me. However, why can't you use encode a string as base64?
@swcurran : I may have misunderstood something. My understanding (apparently not true?) was that a signature is always over or against raw bytes. Base64 encoding is just a way to...
Before we close this, @swcurran , let's confirm which algorithm we're using. I only *thought* it worked a particular way; I'm no longer confident that my thinking was accurate.
There are two verifications we need: 1) Verify the semantics required by the RFC. It's possible that the verbiage is unclear or inconsistent. 2) Verify that implementations all understand those...
So I checked with Evernym folks. We have several signing algorithms separate from RFC 0017 that are not JWS-centric, and we are inconsistent; in at least one place, we sign...
@swcurran : >@dhh1128 -- please go ahead and PR. Done. See https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/pull/558.
>Is the recommendation to make an indy-specific protocol for our use case or to add a mechanism to use other than JWS signature schemes? I am not confident in suggesting...
>For more on the use case Cool idea. Makes sense. I think the "Please sign this" protocol needs to be able to tell parties to provide a signature in one...
I think we'd have to add JWS support within indy-node -- but otherwise I don't see any reason why this could not be done.
