saranix cwebber2: i've missed so much of the CCG/DID stuff. Has there been any progress on lookup mechanisms? (i.e. compatible with socialweb)
#
saranix !tell cwebber2 i've missed so much of the CCG/DID stuff. Has there been any progress on lookup mechanisms? (i.e. compatible with socialweb)
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
cwebber2 hi saranix
#
Loqi cwebber2: saranix left you a message 4 minutes ago: i've missed so much of the CCG/DID stuff. Has there been any progress on lookup mechanisms? (i.e. compatible with socialweb)
#
cwebber2 saranix: the lookup mechanisms are method specific for DIDs, so they may vary... though we're talking about an abstraction mechanism that should allow you to always grab them over an HTTP protocol through a resolver
#
cwebber2 and yeah I don't know of any reason they would be incompatible with socialweb stuff
#
saranix so nothing solid yet? it seems very open-ended
#
cwebber2 there are solid mechanisms for the individual methods, but for the resolver, yeah it's open ended / not solid yet
#
cwebber2 dlongley and I have Opinions (TM)
#
saranix :E
#
saranix elaborate?
#
cwebber2 saranix: the short of it is that dlongley and I think that for users, it shouldn't matter what DID method is being used under the hood... resolvers can speak the same simple REST'ish HTTP API for all of them
#
cwebber2 I think we're gaining consensus on this but we don't have what that protocol looks like written up yet
#
saranix cool. I hope it gets done soon :)
#
Gargron still thinking how OMEMO is supposed to work in mastodon
#
Gargron so every actor needs to have 100 pre-keys, however those are generated (some kinda key that's signed or something)
#
Gargron and each time a conversation "session" initiated you need to retrieve one of those keys and use it and then it must be replaced with a new one in the list
