Hyperledger Foundation / Hyperledger Ursa

Evaluating Hyperledger URSA for Production Deployments - Pierre Roberge, Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada & Hart Montgomery, The Linux Foundation

With decentralized identity and tools maturing, many organizations are moving their focus from proof-of-concept (PoC) to mission critical systems dependent upon decentralized identity technologies. Several leading Canadian public and private organizations, using a “trust but verify” philosophy, required an independent cybersecurity review of the URSA library. Hyperledger URSA is a shared cryptographic library used to avoid duplicating other cryptographic work and increases security. It is an opt-in repository for Hyperledger and non Hyperledger projects to place and use crypto. Project sponsors, several Canadian public sector entities and Interac, recognise that end users rely on strong security to deliver high levels of assurance required of important consumer transactions with their governments and their financial institutions. Many of the world’s leading advancements in decentralized identity, several originating in Canada, rely on the Hyperledger family of technologies. The URSA library is a key component, depended upon to provide the security overlay for decentralized identity. Come join Pierre Roberge and Hart Montgomery to hear about the URSA review and its outcomes!

A virtual Hyperledger meetup hosted on May 24, 2022 featuring Pierre A. Roberge is co-founder and General Manager of the Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada speaking about Hyperledger Ursa. Hyperledger Ursa is a shared cryptographic library that would enable people (and projects) to avoid duplicating other cryptographic work and hopefully increase security in the process.

The Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada (IDLab) is pleased to share the results of its security and cryptography code review of the Hyperledger URSA crypto library. In support to future deployments of digital identity services toward production, rooted in a “trust but verify” mindset, the IDLab completed an arms-length third party assessment of the URSA crypto library to understand and mitigate the risks associated with the use of Hyperledger technology in the domain of decentralized identity. Pierre Roberge will present the approach that was taken, followed by a review of the key findings and conclusions drawn from the exercise.

The Hyperledger Ursa code review report is available at: https://www.hyperledger.org/learn/research

#Hyperledger #HyperledgerGlobalForum2021 #Blockchain

In this virtual meetup hosted by Hyperledger Toronto, Stephen Curran talks about three of Hyperledger's newest projects. This presentation covers Ursa, Indy and Aries - Linux Foundation's Hyperledger projects which will add the long-missing identity layer to the Internet. Stephen goes over the important new paradigm these projects enable, discussing verifiable credentials and why distributed ledger technology is crucial to establishing new ways of perceiving 'Trust over IP'. He covers how you can get started building on top of these projects and - if you want - how you can contribute to them.

For a primer before the webinar, see https://trustoverip.org.

Building Secure Protocols Using Ursa - Mike Lodder, Sovrin Foundation & Brent Zundel, Evernym

It's notoriously difficult to properly implement blockchain protocols that use cryptographic algorithms.In this talk, Mike and Brent will explain some of the features in Hyperledger Ursa and how to use them to solve some of the most common problems faced by people looking to build private and secure protocols on blockchains.

They will start by explaining some of the cryptographic primitives in Ursa and what they do from a functional perspective.Then, they will illustrate how to use them through their own work in Indy and Aries.They will offer advice to others and other tricks on how to develop blockchains with specific security, privacy, and confidentiality requirements.This will include things like designing a security model, picking the right cryptographic tools, and then implementing the blockchain project in a way that minimizes bugs and security vulnerabilities during development.

Mike and Brent will also discuss some of the common mistakes that they have seen people make when using cryptographic algorithms and how to develop in a way that avoids these mistakes.

This talk is targeted at developers with some experience in working with cryptography or security-related code.It is not necessary to be an expert cryptographer or experienced security professional, but some basic knowledge of cryptographic protocols will be needed to get the most out of this talk.
