Getting from Maven Central

If you are using Maven, just add the webauthn4j as a dependency:

<properties>
  ...
  <!-- Use the latest version whenever possible. -->
  <webauthn4j.version>0.10.2.RELEASE</webauthn4j.version>
  ...
</properties>

<dependencies>
  ...
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.webauthn4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>webauthn4j-core</artifactId>
    <version>${webauthn4j.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  ...
</dependencies>

Build from source

WebAuthn4J uses a Gradle based build system. In the instructions below, gradlew is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build.

Prerequisites

Java8 or later

Checkout sources

git clone https://github.com/webauthn4j/webauthn4j

Build all jars

./gradlew build

How to use

Parse and Validation on Registration

// Client properties
byte[] attestationObject = null /* set attestationObject */;
byte[] clientDataJSON = null /* set clientDataJSON */;
String clientExtensionJSON = null;  /* set clientExtensionJSON */;
Set<String> transports = null /* set transports */;

// Server properties
Origin origin = null /* set origin */;
String rpId = null /* set rpId */;
Challenge challenge = null /* set challenge */;
byte[] tokenBindingId = null /* set tokenBindingId */;
ServerProperty serverProperty = new ServerProperty(origin, rpId, challenge, tokenBindingId);

// expectations
boolean userVerificationRequired = false;
boolean userPresenceRequired = true;
List<String> expectedExtensionIds = Collections.emptyList();

RegistrationRequest registrationRequest = new RegistrationRequest(attestationObject, clientDataJSON, clientExtensionJSON, transports);
RegistrationParameters registrationParameters = new RegistrationParameters(serverProperty, userVerificationRequired, userPresenceRequired, expectedExtensionIds);
RegistrationData registrationData;
try{
    registrationData = webAuthnManager.parse(registrationRequest);
}
catch (DataConversionException e){
    // If you would like to handle WebAuthn data structure parse error, please catch DataConversionException
    throw e;
}
try{
    webAuthnManager.validate(registrationData, registrationParameters);
}
catch (ValidationException e){
    // If you would like to handle WebAuthn data validation error, please catch ValidationException
    throw e;
}

// please persist Authenticator object, which will be used in the authentication process.
Authenticator authenticator =
        new AuthenticatorImpl( // You may create your own Authenticator implementation to save friendly authenticator name
                registrationData.getAttestationObject().getAuthenticatorData().getAttestedCredentialData(),
                registrationData.getAttestationObject().getAttestationStatement(),
                registrationData.getAttestationObject().getAuthenticatorData().getSignCount()
        );
save(authenticator); // please persist authenticator in your manner

Parse and Validation on authentication

// Client properties
byte[] credentialId = null /* set credentialId */;

byte[] tokenBindingId = null /* set tokenBindingId */;
ServerProperty serverProperty = new ServerProperty(origin, rpId, challenge, tokenBindingId);

// expectations
boolean userVerificationRequired = true;
boolean userPresenceRequired = true;
List<String> expectedExtensionIds = Collections.emptyList();

Authenticator authenticator = load(credentialId); // please load authenticator object persisted in the registration process in your manner

AuthenticationRequest authenticationRequest =
        new AuthenticationRequest(
                credentialId,
                userHandle,
                authenticatorData,
                clientDataJSON,
                clientExtensionJSON,
                signature
        );
AuthenticationParameters authenticationParameters =
        new AuthenticationParameters(
                serverProperty,
                authenticator,
                userVerificationRequired,
                userPresenceRequired,
                expectedExtensionIds
        );

AuthenticationData authenticationData;
try{
    authenticationData = webAuthnManager.parse(authenticationRequest);
}
catch (DataConversionException e){
    // If you would like to handle WebAuthn data structure parse error, please catch DataConversionException
    throw e;
}
try{
    webAuthnManager.validate(authenticationData, authenticationParameters);
}
catch (ValidationException e){
    // If you would like to handle WebAuthn data validation error, please catch ValidationException
    throw e;
}
// please update the counter of the authenticator record
updateCounter(
        authenticationData.getCredentialId(),
        authenticationData.getAuthenticatorData().getSignCount()
);
