Implementation Notes

Common Patterns

All plugins should follow these patterns:

Module Structure: Follow the hierarchical structure (kms/plugins/*, did/plugins/*, etc.)
SPI Registration: Use META-INF/services for auto-discovery
Algorithm Advertisement: Implement algorithm advertisement API
Configuration: Support environment variables and options map
Error Handling: Map provider exceptions to TrustWeave exceptions
Testing: Unit tests with mocks, optional integration tests
Documentation: Complete integration guide with examples

Dependencies Management

Use BOM (Bill of Materials) for version management
Prefer well-maintained, widely-used libraries
Document any licensing considerations
Consider optional dependencies for rare use cases

Testing Strategy

Unit tests with mocked dependencies (required)
Integration tests with testcontainers (optional)
Documentation with usage examples (required)

Estimated Total Effort

Phase 1 (KMS): ~10-14 days
Phase 2 (Proof Generators): ~9-12 days
Phase 3 (Wallet Factories): ~9-12 days
Phase 4 (Blockchains): ~12-16 days
Phase 5 (DID Methods): ~13-17 days
Phase 6 (Enterprise): ~9-12 days
Phase 7 (HSMs): ~11-14 days
Phase 8 (Specialized): ~7-9 days

Total Estimated Effort: ~80-106 days
