Looking at https://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#sha, I think the hash `AlgorithmIdentifier`s are all just strings or instances of [`Algorithm`](https://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/#dfn-Algorithm) itself rather than a subtype, so they have no structure beyond their names. Given that, we could probably make [`ClientData.hashAlg`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-clientdata-hashalg) just a `DOMString` instead of an `AlgorithmIdentifier`. Even if WebAuthn wants to use a more structured hash algorithm in the future, we can probably make `hashAlg` a union of the right set of `Algorithm` subtypes, instead of matching WebCrypto's unconstrained `object`. @mwatson2 in case I've mis-read WebCrypto. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jyasskin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/273#issuecomment-280137432 using your GitHub account
