Introduction to Web Authentication
This course introduces developers to the W3C’s Web Authentication (WebAuthn) API, which provides the tools to replace usernames and passwords in favor of hardware-backed, cryptographically secure authentication.
Learners will explore basic concepts such as registration and authentication, and how WebAuthn thwarts modern attacks such as phishing to ensure security and privacy.
After becoming familiar with WebAuthn buiding blocks, such as authenticators, clients, and replying parties, learners will move on to standing up a WebAuthn server and learning the different flows supported by WebAuthn.
Finally, students will review guidance and recommendations for operating a WebAuthn environment, capping off the course with an interactive project giving developers a solid foundation to secure assets and contemplate a passwordless future.
