The following commits were just pushed by equalsJeffH to https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: * Truncate strings for authenticators where needed. (#1316) * Truncate strings for authenticators where needed. There exist a significant number of authenticators that do not conform to the current WebAuthn requirements in that they fail requests with name/displayName strings longer than 64 bytes, rather than truncating them. This change adds a new requirement on user-agents that they maintain the authenticator model for RPs by doing the truncation on their behalf in this case. The alternative is that each RP will hit this edge-case and do the truncation itself, thus the ecosystem will never be able to support longer strings. Since user-agents may now be doing truncation, this change also permits truncation at the level of grapheme clusters (since user-agents presumably have Unicode tables available). Fixes #1296. * Address Jeff and Emil's comments. by Adam Langley https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/commit/428bf827db5fa8d45865fcce7a41427bf910ee2f
