RE: 3/23/2016 W3C Web Authentication Agenda

The metadata is fairly important to relying parties for making decisions about which authenticators to trust. Is there an alternative for how they would get that information?

We should really drop any references to the FIDO metadata service , it’s not required and it is a FIDO run service

All,

As promised, a PR for the more-generic naming is posted. It has some whitespace changes in it as well, so I recommend reviewing using this URL that sets w=1:

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/48/files?w=1

Generally, the following substitutions were made:

Extensions were renamed from "fido." to "webauth."
CredentialType "FIDO" was renamed to "ScopedUserCredential"
"FIDO Authenticators" are now "WebAuth Authenticators"
"FIDO Credential" and similar are now "Scoped Credential"
"FIDO method" and similar are now "WebAuth method"
"FIDO Relying Party" and similar are now just "Relying Party"
The WebIDL DOM interface is now type "WebAuthentication" and named "webauth"
I did not attempt to change the OIDs, references to the ECDAA specification, or the FIDO Metadata Service (see Issue #47).

Cheers,

J.C.

I think I promised to start doing the things that were marked as "do it" after the merge.  I'll try to get to some of those tonight.



 

Thanks!

Hi there, 

 

I'm afraid I will have to miss certainly the beginning, if not all, of the call tomorrow. 

 

As for the document merge, Jeff pulled the merged doc into master (source is index.src.html, output is index.html). Next step is to delete the three subdirectories webauthn-* (since they contain the old, unmerged sources) in master.

 

Dirk.
