Hey everyone! We're excited to announce that we'll be hosting an online event on May 24th. This is a great opportunity to learn more 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.
About the speaker: Pierre A. Roberge is co-founder and General Manager of the Digital Identity Laboratory of Canada. Pierre has over 25 years of expertise and experience in digital transformation in different fields such as digital identity, integrated privacy protection, electronic payment, banking operations and, more generally, in cybersecurity.
Pierre builds bridges between the fields of business and technology in the use of emerging technologies, to create and operationalize new strategic opportunities.
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies. It is a global collaboration, hosted by The Linux Foundation, including leaders in finance, banking, Internet of Things, supply chains, manufacturing and Technology.
Hyperledger Meetup groups have an informal relationship with Hyperledger, and make up a key part of the Hyperledger ecosystem. Participation in a Hyperledger Meetup group is open to anyone--employees of a Hyperledger member company, Hyperledger contributors and developers, and people just passionate about blockchain technology.
