Branch: refs/heads/master Home: https://github.com/w3c/webauthn Commit: 7b577d46678415c7722f5d25ea33283cad364a82 https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/commit/7b577d46678415c7722f5d25ea33283cad364a82 Author: J.C. Jones <james.jc.jones@gmail.com> Date: 2016-07-16 (Sat, 16 Jul 2016) Changed paths: M index.bs Log Message: ----------- API aesthetic updates (#142) * Change the parent object from "window" to "navigator" The HTML5 `window` object represents an open window in the browser, whereas the `navigator` object represents the browser itself. Since authenticators belong to the whole system, not one window, the object model makes more sense to be a property attached to `navigator`. * Rename `navigator.webauthn` to `navigator.authentication`. Generally it's frowned upon to name a Web API "web-". I considered using "authn", but I feel the verbosity here is justified. Most users will assign the object to a local variable for ease of use anyway, just as our example code does. * Use CryptoKey for ScopedCredentialInfo.publicKey * Rename example extension IDs and provide guidance about dot-notation In response to Vijay's note about extension names[1], I've renamed the example extensions (correcting a CBOR mismatch in the process). I also noted in section 7.1, Extension identifiers, that "Use of dot-separated notation here does not imply an object hierarchy.", and provided a counterexample of a differently- separated, versioned id: `mycompany- myextension_v01`. None of the pre-defined extensions were modified. 1) https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webauthn/2016Jul/0046.html * Review update: Use CamelCase for extension identifiers * Use underscore delimiters in extension IDs Per the phone call on 13 July 2016, change extension IDs to a format of being {defining body}_{extension name}<_{version}>.
