Hi all, Just want to add my full backing and commitment to this project. After spending several years at MIRACL bringing MPIN-based products to market I strongly believe that zero knowledge authentication has a part to play in modern, decentralized infrastructures. And after spending the last six months at Qredo immersed in the world of cryptocurrency, I can see how the proposed solutions for digital asset custody and backup complements the original intentions of the Milagro project. Looking forward to helping any way I can.

Giorgio: My idea for having and growing the community it to have something to present at the next Embedded Linux Conference in Lyon, the call for paper ends beginning of July. This will give us the right visibility for saying "We are back!". As always depends on us. Some thoughts: 1. For the server i don't know what you have since in the repo we have just an excellent set of python servers. We can follows two paths or just one, port all to Modern C++ (programming in modern c++ is not so scary) or move the ideas to go grpc, depends on what you have. 2. My vision for the server architecture is a federated system of different microservices both for the RPA and DTA. Here we have a lot of challenges on different things for example load balancing (look at envoy proxy), fault tolerance, kubernetes support. Brick over brick. The first thing is to a docker-enabled D-TA server. Then will come the RPS. 3. The current repos needs to be reorganized. For the c++ milagro library after the bug on config64.py will be resolved (filed today), i have a CMakeLists.txt and a conan recipe. Conan https://conan.io/ is a decentralized package manager for C++ (for java developers is like gradle). So the library will be present in the JFrog repo. 4. Further ideas: a. Modern Cloud enviroments support HSMs and an opportunity to evaluate is the to integrate pkcs11 support in the servers for storing and generating secrets. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/latest/userguide/pkcs11-library.html ) b. The rpa/rps clients might be as well cars so we could explore how to use intel/arm in the tpm module for storing sensitive information in a board. I imagine a RPS client that from a car does authentication before dowloading navigation datas and stores in our servers sensitive information because they trust us. c. For the javascript demo would be nice to hava a react/login component to be integrated in asp.net core application. Just plug and play. Estimated time a couple of days.
