http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/webcrypto-next-workshop/Overview.html I hope to go (my position two papers were accepted) but I'm rather uncertain that the outcome actually will very clear since there are two fundamentally different approaches: - Evolution: Adopt the web-platform to existing smart cards etc - Revolution: Create complete systems from scratch FIDO represents the latter. It doesn't build on smart card APDUs and cannot run on top of standard crypto APIs like PKCS #11. Personally, I'm also into revolution since smart cards and PKCS #11 were not designed to be invoked by arbitrary web-code which calls for entirely new protection strategies like SOP. The only "traditional" technology (IMO) worth preserving is PKI. Anders
