PyWebAuthn is a Python module which can be used to handle [WebAuthn][1] registration and assertion. Currently, WebAuthn is supported in [Firefox][2], [Chrome][3], and [Edge][4].

# Installation

`pip install webauthn`

# Usage

Generating credential options, (to be passed to `navigator.credentials.create`):
```python
make_credential_options = webauthn.WebAuthnMakeCredentialOptions(
challenge,
rp_name,
rp_id,
user_id,
username,
display_name,
icon_url)
```

Creating a `WebAuthnUser` object. Used during the assertion (login) process:
```python
webauthn_user = webauthn.WebAuthnUser(
user.id,
user.username,
user.display_name,
user.icon_url,
user.credential_id,
user.pub_key,
user.sign_count,
user.rp_id)
```

Generating assertion options, (to be passed to `navigator.credentials.get`):
```python
webauthn_assertion_options = webauthn.WebAuthnAssertionOptions(
webauthn_user,
challenge)
```

Verifying a registration response, (result of `navigator.credentials.create`):
```python
webauthn_registration_response = webauthn.WebAuthnRegistrationResponse(
RP_ID,
ORIGIN,
registration_response,
challenge,
trust_anchor_dir,
trusted_attestation_cert_required,
self_attestation_permitted,
none_attestation_permitted,
uv_required=False) # User Verification

try:
webauthn_credential = webauthn_registration_response.verify()
except Exception as e:
return jsonify({'fail': 'Registration failed. Error: {}'.format(e)})

# Create User
```

Verifying an assertion response, (result of `navigator.credentials.get`):
```python
webauthn_user = webauthn.WebAuthnUser(
user.ukey,
user.username,
user.display_name,
user.icon_url,
user.credential_id,
user.pub_key,
user.sign_count,
user.rp_id)

webauthn_assertion_response = webauthn.WebAuthnAssertionResponse(
webauthn_user,
assertion_response,
challenge,
origin,
uv_required=False) # User Verification

try:
sign_count = webauthn_assertion_response.verify()
except Exception as e:
return jsonify({'fail': 'Assertion failed. Error: {}'.format(e)})

# Update counter.
user.sign_count = sign_count
```

# Flask Demo

There is a [Flask][5] demo available in the `flask_demo` directory. Follow these steps to run the Flask web app:

1. `cd flask_demo`
2. `pip install -r requirements.txt`
3. `python create_db.py`
4. `python app.py`
5. Go to [https://localhost:5000][6] in your web browser. Try registering and logging in with a compatible U2F or WebAuthn authenticator.
6. Profit?

# Flask Demo (Docker)

To run the [Flask][5] demo with [Docker][7]:

1. Install Docker.
2. `docker-compose up -d`
3. Go to [https://localhost:5000][6] in your web browser. Try registering and logging in with a compatible U2F or WebAuthn authenticator.
