micolous has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == Add "smart-card" to AuthenticatorTransport enum (WebKit) == ## Proposed Change Apple/WebKit has added a new transport, `smart-card`, in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/2207 https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/f5eb326e26ffc147b9421cbb3db9ce1d21750d8e/Source/WebCore/Modules/webauthn/WebAuthenticationConstants.h#L95 This transport does *not* appear in the list of transports in the spec: https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#enum-transport This should be added to the list. It looks like this transport uses the [CryptoTokenKit TKSmartCard API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cryptotokenkit/tksmartcard), from which a vague reading may suggest this eventually hooks into platform PC/SC APIs... which makes me think this is basically the same as the (standard) `nfc` transport, but is intended to work with NFC transceivers on macOS. However, when I tried to use this on Safari 16.0 on macOS 12.6 with a PC/SC compatible NFC transceiver (which works fine with other applications), Safari doesn't try to use it at all. Perhaps Apple folks (or those with Radar access) could comment further, as [the public bug](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242365) is light on details.
