It describes the layering and intention of each of the detailed protocol documents. It describes the various privacy considerations in the protocol design through the document and summarizes these at the end. READ THIS DOCUMENT FIRST BEFORE READING THE DETAILED DOCS. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-overview-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-= FIDO U2F Javascript API fido-u2f-javascript-api-v1.0-ps-20141009.html This document describes the client side API in the web browser for accessing U2F capabilities. An online service or website can levearge U2F by using this API on the client side and pairing it with a server which can verify U2F messages on the server side. (Later specifications will escribe APIs in non-browser contexts). http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-javascript-api-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-= FIDO U2F Raw Message Formats fido-u2f-raw-message-formats-v1.0-ps-20141009.html fido-u2f-u2f.h-v1.0-ps-20141009.txt This document describes the binary format of request messages which go from the FIDO U2F server to the FIDO U2F token and the binary format of the response messages from the token to the server. These messages are encoded by the browser (FIDO client) for communication over a particular transport (such as USB) to the cryptographic core of the token which performs key generation and signing. A header file with standard values is also specified. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-raw-message-formats-v1.0-ps-20141009.html http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-u2f.h-v1.0-ps-20141009.txt =-=-=-= FIDO U2F HID Protocol fido-u2f-HID-protocol-v1.0-ps-20141009.html fido-u2f-u2f_hid.h-v1.0-ps-20141009.txt This document describes how the browser (FIDO client) frames the binary raw messages coming from the javascript API for transport over USB-HID to a U2F token. The binary raw messages are described in the 'FIDO U2F Raw Message Formats' document. A header file with standard values is also specified. [Later specifications will specify how the javascript APIs frames raw messages over other (non-USB) transports]. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-HID-protocol-v1.0-ps-20141009.html http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-u2f_hid.h-v1.0-ps-20141009.txt =-=-=-= FIDO U2F Implementation Considerations fido-u2f-implementation-considerations-v1.0-ps-20141009.html This document describes implementation considerations and recommendations for creators of U2F devices and for relying parties implementing U2F support. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-implementation-considerations-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-= FIDO U2F Application Isolation through Facet Identification fido-appid-and-facets-v1.0-ps-20141009.html The U2F protocol ensures that the origin foo.com can only exercise a key that was issued for foo.com by the U2F token. foo.com may have an app in non-browser environments and the same portable token may be exercised there too. This document describes how the various embodiments of foo.com (in a browser, in a mobile OS etc) securely assert the same origin to the token. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-appid-and-facets-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-= FIDO Security Reference fido-security-ref-v1.0-ps-20141009.html This document analyzes the FIDO security. The analysis is performed on the basis of the FIDO Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) specification and FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) specifications as of the date of this publication. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-security-ref-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-= FIDO Technical Glossary fido-glossary-v1.0-ps-20141009.html This document defines many of the technical terms and phrases used in FIDO Alliance specifications and documents. http://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-glossary-v1.0-ps-20141009.html =-=-=-=
