Re: the new registry, I talked to Mike Jones, one of the experts for the 
WebAuthn registry, during IETF 114 and asked if an attestation format that is 
not organic to WebAuthn would be acceptable in the WebAuthn registry (the 
example I gave was Yubikey PIV attestations). The answer was no. This is what 
led to the decision to define a new registry. Note, I asked relative to the 
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-wallace-lamps-key-attestation-ext-01.html draft 
but sharing registries between that draft and the ACME draft makes sense.

 

I doubt any real specifics on registry management have been defined but could 
imagine the new registry overlapping to a large degree.

Subject: [Acme] Statement formats for device attestation

 

Hi all,

 

I had a question related to the ongoing draft on device attestation [1], more 
specifically I was interested in the attestation statement formats and the new 
registry intended for them [2].

 

I was curious whether the plan is to keep closer ties and alignment with the 
W3C and their WebAuthentication spec, or whether the naming and references are 
just a way to simplify the groundwork, and subsequent statement formats will 
have virtually no relationship to the the original ones from WebAuthn.

 

I’m asking this with a mind towards the reusability of these registries for 
other types of protocols (e.g., TLS [3]), but that’d be a follow-up discussion.

 

Best wishes,

Ionut
