I would very much like non-cannonical CBOR be supported from authenticator to client. In specific: - **always use shortest encoding**: for example, when generating the authenticator data, it is much easier to reserve 2 bytes for the length and go back and correct them than precalculating the length, especially when your device supports extensions. - **indefinite encoding**: again, it is much easier to generate an indefinite encoding tag for arrays and maps and terminate it accordingly. There are also some very interesting uses for indefinite encoding for byte strings. I agree it would be nice if this was required towards the authenticator. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jovasco Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/455#issuecomment-325739767 using your GitHub account
