Discipl Components

Discipl Core

Discipl Core provides an interface to connect to different platforms that manage identities and claims.

Sample usage:

• Creating an identity
• Storing and retrieving a claim
• Verifying an attestation
• Listening for claims being published by an identity
• Managing access

Discipl Core Ephemeral Connector

The Ephemeral Connector provides temporary storage of identities and claims. This can be done using a local memory storage or a remote storage, and elliptic curve cryptography or RSA (based on x509 certificates).

• Instantiating and configuring
• Importing an identity

Discipl Core Base Connector

The Core Base Connector can be used to implement a connector to your platform of choice.

• Mock connector showing the needed methods
• Usage example (Ephemeral)

Discipl Abundance Service

The Abundance Service helps implementation of software systems that express needs and fulfill them.

• Example scenario
• Attending to needs in Waardepapieren Project
• Expressing needs in Waardepapieren Project

Discipl Paper Wallet

The Paper Wallet helps convert claims to a qr-format for presentation.

• Example scenario
• Example usage in Waardepapieren Project

Discipl Law Reg

The Law Reg(ulation) library provides validation and execution options for FLINT models. FLINT is a (formal) language to interpret laws and regulation.

• Theoretical background and example
• Example model in JSON form
• Usage in demo interface

Discipl Projects

Waardepapieren

The Waardepapieren project showcases how the abundance service and core Discipl components can be used by a municipality to provide attestations that are backwards compatible with current processes.

Compliance by Design

Compliance by Design showcases how FLINT models produced using the Calculemus method can be explored. A way to create these models is using Visual Studio Code with the FLINT editor plugin

Tools and Techniques the projects are using

• Node.js

  Node.js is used as the run-time environment to execute this program written in JavaScript. It also comes with a built-in support for package management using NPM. Discipl publishes her libraries in NPM.
  

• ES6 JavaScript

  ES6 stands for EcmaScript 6 and is a version of Javascript
  

• Travis CI

  Travis CI is a hosted continuous integration service used to build and test software projects hosted at GitHub.
  

• Babel

  Babel is used to transpile the ES6 to get compatible JavaScript
  

• Mocha - Chai - SinonJS

  Sinon allows the use of spies, stubs and mocks within the tests.
  Chai will make the coding of the test feel like writing english.
  To use Chai and Sinon, Mocha is needed as the test framework running on Node.JS
  

• Istanbul code coverage

  All-javascript instrumentation library that tracks statement, branch, and function coverage and reverse-engineers line coverage with 100% fidelity.
  

• Standard JS lint

  Automatically formats the code and catches style issues and programmer errors early.
  

• LogLevel

  Minimal lightweight simple logging for JavaScript. loglevel replaces console.log() and friends with level-based logging and filtering, with none of console's downsides.
