Web Authentication Working Group Launched

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that we launched the Web Authentication Working Group:

 Charter:
     https://www.w3.org/2015/12/web-authentication-charter.html

Goal: The Web Authentication Working Group will develop recommendation-track specifications defining an API, as well as signature and attestation formats which provide an asymmetric cryptography-based foundation for authentication of users to Web Applications.

To have your organization join the group, contact your AC Rep. Here is the join page:
