1. Introduction
This specification establishes IANA registries for W3C Web
Authentication [WebAuthn] attestation statement formats and extension
identifiers. The initial values for these registries are in the IANA
Considerations section of the [WebAuthn] specification.
2. WebAuthn Attestation Statement Format Identifier Registry
WebAuthn attestation statement format identifiers are strings whose
semantic, syntactic, and string-matching criteria are specified in
[WebAuthn], along with the concepts of attestation and attestation
statement formats.
WebAuthn attestation statement formats are registered on the advice
of a Designated Expert (appointed by the IESG or their delegate),
with a Specification Required (per [RFC5226]).
The Expert(s) will establish procedures for requesting registrations,
and make them available from the registry page.
Registration requests consist of at least the following information:
o WebAuthn Attestation Statement Format Identifier: This identifier
MUST be a maximum of 32 octets in length and MUST consist only of
printable USASCII characters, excluding backslash and doublequote.
This name is case sensitive. Names may not match other registered
names in a case-insensitive manner unless the Designated Experts
state that there is a compelling reason to allow an exception.
o Description: A relatively short description of the attestation
format.
o Specification Document: Reference to the specification of the
attestation statement format.
o Notes: [optional]
Hodges, et al. Expires September 25, 2017 [Page 2]
Internet-DraftRegistries for Web Authentication (WebAuthn) March 2017
The Expert(s) MAY define additional fields to be collected in the
registry. Each attestation statement format identifier added to this
registry MUST be unique amongst the set of registered attestation
statement format identifiers. The Experts(s) MAY also designate
attestation statement formats as proprietary if they lack complete
specifications, and will assign a prefix indicating as such to the
identifier.
Registrations MUST reference a freely available specification, e.g.,
as described in [RFC2026] Section 7.
Note that WebAuthn attestation statement formats can be registered by
third parties, if the Expert(s) determine that an unregistered
attestation statement format is widely deployed and not likely to be
registered in a timely manner.
Decisions (or lack thereof) made by the Designated Expert can be
first appealed to Application Area Directors (contactable using app-
[email protected] email address or directly by looking up their
email addresses on http://www.iesg.org/ website) and, if the
appellant is not satisfied with the response, to the full IESG (using
the [email protected] mailing list).
3. WebAuthn Extension Identifier Registry
WebAuthn extension identifiers are strings whose semantic, syntactic,
and string-matching criteria are specified in [WebAuthn].
WebAuthn extension identifiers are registered on the advice of a
Designated Expert (appointed by the IESG or their delegate), with a
Specification Required (per [RFC5226]).
The Expert(s) will establish procedures for requesting registrations,
and make them available from the registry page.
Registration requests consist of at least the following information:
o WebAuthn Extension Identifier: This identifier MUST be a maximum
of 32 octets in length and MUST consist only of printable USASCII
characters, excluding backslash and doublequote. This name is
case sensitive. Names may not match other registered names in a
case-insensitive manner unless the Designated Experts state that
there is a compelling reason to allow an exception.
o Description: A relatively short description of the extension.
o Specification Document: Reference to the specification of the
extension.
o Notes: [optional]

The Expert(s) MAY define additional fields to be collected in the
registry. Each extension identifier added to this registry MUST be
unique amongst the set of registered extension identifiers.
Registrations MUST reference a freely available specification, e.g.,
as described in [RFC2026] Section 7.
Note that WebAuthn extensions can be registered by third parties, if
the Expert(s) determine that an unregistered extension is widely
deployed and not likely to be registered in a timely manner.
Decisions (or lack thereof) made by the Designated Expert can be
first appealed to Application Area Directors (contactable using app-
[email protected] email address or directly by looking up their
email addresses on http://www.iesg.org/ website) and, if the
appellant is not satisfied with the response, to the full IESG (using
the [email protected] mailing list).
4. IANA Considerations
4.1. WebAuthn Attestation Statement Format Identifier and Extension
Identifiers Registries
This specification establishes two registries:
o the "WebAuthn Attestation Statement Format Identifier" registry;
see Section 2.
o the "WebAuthn Extension Identifier" registry; see Section 3.
For both registries, the Expert(s) and IANA will interact as outlined
below:
IANA will direct any incoming requests regarding the registry to the
processes established by the Expert(s); typically, this will mean
referring them to the registry HTML page.
The Expert(s) will provide registry data to IANA in an agreed form
(e.g., a specific XML format). IANA will publish:
o The raw registry data
o The registry data, transformed into HTML
o The registry data in any alternative formats provided by the
Expert(s)
Each published document will be at a URL agreed to by IANA and the
Expert(s) and IANA will set HTTP response headers on them as
(reasonably) requested by the Expert(s).

Internet-DraftRegistries for Web Authentication (WebAuthn) March 2017
Additionally, the HTML generated by IANA will:
o Take directions from the Expert(s) as to the content of the HTML
page's introductory text and markup.
o Include a stable HTML fragment identifier for each registered
attestation statement format or extension identifier.
All registry data documents MUST include Simplified BSD License text
as described in Section 4.e of the Trust Legal Provisions
(<http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info>).
5. Security Considerations
See [WebAuthn] for relevant security considerations.
