No, I think FIDO will be just fine for same-origin use cases. The vast majority of our use cases are multi-origin. FIDO ensures that the entity that a website is speaking to is the same entity that enrolled the security device at a previous point in time. Verifiable Claims ensure that the entity that a website is speaking to has a certain set of qualifications that have been vetted by a trusted 3rd party. It also ensures that those qualifications can be asserted across multiple origins. Different technologies for different use cases. FIDO and Verifiable Claims are complimentary. >> Someone that disagrees is welcome to build an alternate ecosystem >> based >>> In terms of the arrows, I prefer Dave Crocker's version >> >> Good to know, thank you.
