This repository contains an early-stage implementation of a FIDO Platform, implementing the WebAuthn-2 and CTAP2.1 standards ("FIDO2"). It also includes some CTAP2.2 and WebAuthn-3 functionality.
A FIDO2 Platform sits between an Authenticator and a Relying Party; it runs on a client device (such as a laptop or smartphone) and allows the user to communicate with Authenticators.
This software can be linked into an application to add FIDO2 authentication capabilities to that application. But it's not an implementation of a Relying Party; this is the software for a client computer potentially talking TO a web service, not the software running on the web server side.
This particular Platform implementation has a few special properties:
- It exposes a large set of authenticator management functionality, such as the ability to set minimum PIN lengths, view and manage stored credentials, etc
- It is a Kotlin Multiplatform project, and is capable of running as either a native application (Windows/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS) or on a Java Virtual Machine
- It supports a wide range of different Authenticator types, not just USB-HID
Note this means that, despite being a Kotlin project, C code can use this
implementation as a replacement for e.g. libfido2!
Implementation Overall Status: Beta
This implementation will likely improve in coverage rapidly! It mostly works, but APIs are not guaranteed to remain stable yet, and there are surely bugs or incomplete sections.
The core code is all Kotlin/Multiplatform, and can be used from any target. Interfaces for cryptography and communicating with authenticators on a byte-by-byte level are provided by native implementations specific to each platform.
- Low level CTAP layer
- Webauthn standard implementation
- High level task-specific APIs

*1 - Bluetooth LE support for Android is implemented, but for reasons unknown Android restricts the ability to access BLE FIDO tokens to "system" applications, so FIDOk can't be used with BLE authenticators over BLE in a normal install
