[Minutes] 29 September task force of the Web Authentication and Web Payments Working Groups

Hi all,

Minutes from today’s discussion (on Client-initiated back-channel auth, and cryptograms in Secure Payment Confirmation):
  https://www.w3.org/2020/09/29-webauthn-pay-minutes

Next call of this task force: 13 October

I expect we will continue our discussion of SPC cryptograms at that call. Some properties I have already taken away from today’s call:

 * Some randomness needs to be injected into the challenge.
 * Randomness does not need to be created by the verifier. (Verifiers must trust the randomness of the generator in this case.)
 * Randomness does not have to be kept secret.
 * Party that generates randomness needs to communicate it securely to the verifier.

Benjamin, it would be useful to start to create a list of design considerations in the SPC doc, or an issue.

Thank you,

Ian
