ACA-Py (formerly known as Aries Cloud Agent Python) is an open-source framework designed to facilitate the creation, management, and utilization of decentralized digital identities. ACA-Py enables secure, interoperable communication between entities using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials, adhering to standards such as DIDComm, OpenID4VCs and the W3C Verifiable Credentials.

Credo is a framework written in TypeScript for building decentralized identity solutions that aims to be compliant and interoperable with identity standards across the world. Credo is agnostic to any specific exchange protocol, credential format, signature suite or did method, but currently mainly focuses on alignment with OpenID4VC, DIDComm and Hyperledger Aries.

Askar is an open-source, secure storage and key management service implemented in Rust (with wrappers for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript), designed to support the needs of decentralized trust systems within and beyond the Aries ecosystem. It is a critical component that securely manages cryptographic keys, credentials, and other sensitive data used in decentralized identity frameworks. Askar is the secure storage/key management solution for Credo-TS, ACA-Py, Identus, Aries VCX, and other decentralized trust projects.

The DIDComm Mediator Service is an open-source project designed to facilitate DIDComm communication between Aries agents, particularly in situations where agents are on mobile devices, behind firewalls, or have intermittent connectivity. A DIDComm mediator serves as a persistent endpoint for client agents, allowing them to receive messages securely and efficiently, even when direct peer-to-peer communication is not possible. This allows a peer contact, such as an enterprise issuer or verifier, to initiate a messaging exchange with a mobile agent. This is a substantial improvement of the situation today, when enterprises are limited to initiating interactions or sending notifications via untrusted emails and SMSs that are often discarded as phishing attacks.

Previously known as Hyperledger Aries Test Harness, TBD Agent Test Harness is an extensible open-source testing framework designed to validate the functionality and interoperability of agents and components within the decentralized trust ecosystem. A summary of its daily interoperability test runs are published on the website [https://aries-interop.info](https://aries-interop.info). The test harness is crucial for ensuring that different decentralized trust agent implementations, which are responsible for handling decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and exchanging verifiable credentials, can interoperate seamlessly. Agent Test Harness currently includes support for the OWF’s Credo-TS project, and is used by the OWF’s Mobile Agent Test Harness project.
