RE: Comments to WD-01

Hi,



Just a small comment to one of the points raised:

*       4.1.1 step #4: do we define any mandatory-to-implement algorithms or credential types? It's hard to get interoperability if we don't.

> I believe the goal was to wait for initial implementations, and then assess the state of algorithm support. Only one credential type is supported for now, so that one is okay.

I see a possible problem with this approach: When thinking e.g. about FIDO we are talking about authenticators that have a pretty hard time being very crypto-agile (because one e.g. can’t easily find a certified secure controller that supports very modern algorithms like SHA-3) and achieving high security (platform based on secure element). In the WD there is already a list of mandatory algorithms (server side) for the attestation, should we maybe do the same for the credential?
