WebAuthn

W3C Web Authentication API (a.k.a. WebAuthN / FIDO 2.0) RP library in Ruby

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'web_authn'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install web_authn

Usage

context = WebAuthn.context_for(
  client_data_json, # NOTE: URL-safe Base64 encoded
  origin: request.base_url,
  challenge: session[:challenge],
)

if context.registration?
  context.verify!(
    attestation_object # URL-safe Base64 encoded
  )
  context.credential_id
  context.public_key # => `OpenSSL::PKey::RSA` or `OpenSSL::PKey::EC`
  context.public_cose_key # => `COSE::Key::RSA` or `COSE::Key::EC2` ref.) https://github.com/nov/cose-key
  context.sign_count # => `Integer`
elsif context.authentication?
  context.verify!(
    authenticator_data, # URL-safe Base64 encoded

    # NOTE:
    #  either 'public_key' or 'public_cose_key' is required.
    #  if `public_key` is given, you can also specify `digest` (default: `OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new`).
    #  if `public_cose_key` is given, it includes digest size information, so no `digest` is required.

    # public_key: public_key, # `OpenSSL::PKey::RSA` or `OpenSSL::PKey::EC`
    # digest: OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new, # `OpenSSL::Digest::SHA(1|256|384|512)`` (default: `OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256`)
    public_cose_key: public_cose_key, # `COSE::Key::RSA` or `COSE::Key::EC` ref.) https://github.com/nov/cose-key

    sign_count: previously_stored_sign_count,
    signature: signature # URL-safe Base64 encoded
  )
  context.sign_count # => Integer
else
  # should never happen.
end

See sample code in this repository, or working sample site.

Currently, there are several restrictions.

  • only none attestation format is supported.
  • only EC key w/ P-(256|384|521) public key is supported.
  • authenticator data w/ extensions aren't supported.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in VERSION, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
