How the minerva ecosystems implements the ANIMA concepts

Components

The Minerva ecosystem consists of a number of components, as shown in this diagram.

  • highway is the Minerva IDevID creator/signer, and the Manufacturer Authorized Signing Authority (masa). It is run by the manufacturer to create the IDevID certificates, and as a public facing service to generate vouchers in response to signed voucher requests.

  • fountain is the Minerva domain owner, the Join Registrar/Coordinator, and it also operates as an integrated Certification Authority, issuing LDevIDs to the new nodes.

  • ChariWT is a voucher library. It is used by all three other components to create and validate vouchers. It can do so in PKCS7 signed JSON format, as well as JOSE signed JSON (JWS) and COSE signed CBOR (CWT). It is named for the last format. It is pronounced like “Chariot”, given a Welsh “W”, as CWT is pronounced ‘cot’.

  • Reach is a pledge simulator written in ruby, and intended to run in-vitro. It is used exclusively as a testing client, and is not intended for any production use.

  • RustyBeach is a pledge written in Rust, (no_std), designed to work with FreeRTOS and RIOT-OS. It can also be compiled for Linux. (WIP)

  • unstrung is used as the RPL daemon within the ACP

  • openswanX is used as the IPsec daemon, creating the ACP

The Minerva ecosystem does not as yet have a reference Proxy server.
