Clarify the meaning of `prod` and `bare` messages.

Closed this issue · 2 comments

In Message type field Bare and Prod messages are defined in a table but are not clearly explained. Currently, it is still not clear what their purposes are.

I looked into KERIpy a bit and found out their definitions in eventing.py

  • prod: msg to request disclosure via bare, 'bar' msg of data anchored via seal(s) on KEL
  • bare: unhiding (bareing) messages for disclosure of sealed data associated with anchored seals in a KEL

It is still not clear to me what prod stands for and why it is called the way it is. Given the definition in KERIpy, the name prod doesn't make much sense to me.

It seems prod and bare are elaborated in KAPI
