AuthenticatorResponse

The AuthenticatorResponse interface of the Web Authentication API is the base interface for interfaces that provide a cryptographic root of trust for a key pair. The child interfaces include information from the browser such as the challenge origin and either may be returned from PublicKeyCredential.response.

Examples

Getting an AuthenticatorAssertionResponse

var options = {
  challenge: new Uint8Array([/* bytes sent from the server */])
};

navigator.credentials.get({ "publicKey": options })
    .then(function (credentialInfoAssertion) {
    var assertionResponse = credentialInfoAssertion.response;
    // send assertion response back to the server
    // to proceed with the control of the credential
}).catch(function (err) {
     console.error(err);
});

Getting an AuthenticatorAttestationResponse

var publicKey = {
  challenge: /* from the server */,
  rp: {
    name: "Example CORP",
    id  : "login.example.com"
  },
  user: {
    id: new Uint8Array(16),
    name: "jdoe@example.com",
    displayName: "John Doe"
  },
  pubKeyCredParams: [
    {
      type: "public-key",
      alg: -7
    }
  ]
};

navigator.credentials.create({ publicKey })
  .then(function (newCredentialInfo) {
    var attestationResponse = newCredentialInfo.response;
  }).catch(function (err) {
     console.error(err);
  });
