akshayku has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == remoteDesktopClientOverrideJSON Extension == Closes #1577 Use Case: Remote desktop web applications let users interact with the (native) desktop environment of a remote host from a local client (web) application. A user may want to use a WebAuthn authenticator connected to their local client in order to sign into a website in a browser running on a remote host. This is based on https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/wiki/Explainer:-Remote-Desktop-Support which is already present in some form in chromium code base. Based on feedback and use case scenario, this proposal solves the double clientData calculation issue and returns remoteDesktopClientOrigin to the RP as part of client/Authenticator extension. <!-- Remove the following for non-normative changes --> The following tasks have been completed: - [ ] Modified Web platform tests ([link](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/)) Implementation commitment: - [ ] WebKit ([link to issue](https://bugs.webkit.org/)) - [ ] Chromium ([link to issue](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/new?component=1456855&template=0)) - [ ] Gecko ([link to issue](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home)) Documentation and checks - [ ] Affects privacy - [ ] Affects security - [ ] Explainer ([link](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/wiki/Explainer:-Remote-Desktop-Support)) See https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/2375 -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
