Re: [webauthn] Public Key Infrastructures and Web Authentication

scnario (1) in https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/521#issue-248130789 is begging the question of "level of assurance (LOA)". Please see NIST SP-800-63-3 "Digital Identity Guidelines".

"identity" is out-of-scope for webauthn. we are just doing peer-entity authentication.  Whether a user "name" attribute supplied by a webauthn relying party (RP) during a registration ceremony has any assurance of "officialness" is the responsibility of said RP.  This is intersecting with webauthn but orthogonal.  Closing this issue.
