WebAuthn will allow one to authenticate to a web site using FaceID or TouchID on one’s iPhone (or the Android equivalents), or a separate security token gadget, instead of typing in passwords.
- Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 1 Abstract This specification defines an API enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly authenticating users. Conceptually, one or more public key credentials, each scoped to a given WebAuthn Relying Party, are created by and bound to authenticators as requested by the web application. The user agent mediates access to authenticators and their public key credentials in order to preserve user privacy. Authenticators are responsible for ensuring that no operation is performed without user consent. Authenticators provide cryptographic proof of their properties to Relying Parties via attestation. This specification also describes the functional model for WebAuthn conformant authenticators, including their signature and attestation functionality.

- All you need to know about hyphenation in CSS Earlier this month I was invited to give an evening lecture at the Typography Society of Austria (tga) in Vienna. I was honoured to do so, as it meant following in the footsteps of such luminaries as Matthew Carter, Wim Crouwel, Margaret Calvert, Erik Spiekermann, and the late Freda Sack to name but a few.
