WebAuthn is an open web authentication standard that allows users to log on to websites and applications without using passwords. It uses biometric data, hardware security keys, or PIN codes for authentication. The registration process involves creating a pair of public and private keys, while authentication requires user confirmation and signature verification. WebAuthn provides a high level of security and prevents unauthorized use of keys. The formats for registration and authorization include various fields such as challenge, rp, user, pubKeyCredParams, timeout, excludeCredentials, authenticatorSelection, attestation, and attestationFormats.
