hyperledger/aries-framework-go v0.1.0

v0.1.0 Release Notes - November 13, 2019

on GitHub

Aries Framework Go
The aries package provides access to clients being managed by the Framework.

1. Provides KMS (Key Management System).
2. Provides protocol provider factory interface.
3. Provides injectable storage. (LevelDB is provided in 0.1.0.)
4. Provides DID Resolver. (HTTPS binding is provided in 0.1.0.)
5. Provides inbound/outbound dispatcher service. (HTTP transport is provided in 0.1.0.)

Note: these interfaces are preliminary and we plan to update as the pluggable API interfaces become more clear across the community.

The Go framework currently supplies Go native default implementations for all pluggable interfaces, and hence, has no dependency requirements in 0.1.0.

  • Run make bdd-test in the cloned repository after installing dependencies (see README).
• OpenAPI (swagger) can be used to perform DID Exchange between agents.
