RE: Self-introduction

Julien, both John and I welcome you, and welcome you being deeply involved
in both the technical and deployment aspects of WebAuthn. I would also point
ot the WebAuthn Adoption Community Group as a resource you should look at
joining. Hope to see you on the call this week. And questions or issues
please post to list as I'm sure someone will be able to help out. Thanks for
joining.

Subject: Self-introduction

 

Hi, 

 

As a new joiner to this WG I thought I should write a short
self-introduction, as my timezone makes it difficult for me to attend the
calls.

 

I've been doing architecture work around mobile authentication for most of
the past decade. I'm currently with Rakuten, a company well known in Japan
for its e-commerce activities but that has been expanding a lot in the US
and Europe in recent years. We have financial services and bank
subsidiaries, so we discuss security, fraud prevention and authentication a
lot internally. Our identity platform is based on OIDC and our authorization
infrastructure relies heavily on public key cryptography. Rakuten is
currently taking baby steps with FIDO and we are very interested in
following / contributing to developing a solid web authentication framework,
as you can imagine.

 

Looking forward to getting more involved.

 

Cheers,

Julien.
