FIDO2 CLIENT - NODE.JS

• FIDO2 is comprised of the W3C's Web Authentication specification (WebAuthn) and FIDO Alliance's corresponding Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP). FIDO2 supports passwordless, second-factor, and multi-factor user experiences with embedded (or bound) authenticators (such as biometric or PIN) or external/roaming authenticators (such as FIDO Security keys, mobile devices, wearables, etc...).
• Currently, PIN protocols are only supported on Windows and Chrome on macOS. Therefore, we have created a PIN protocol support library that uses Node.js to communicate directly with the security key.
• With this library, we have made it possible for users to use OpenVPN with a security key.

Summary

The FIDO2 client library lets you access FIDO2 devices over BLE, USB, and NFC transports.

Troubleshooting

Crash on Windows when plug/unplug Smart Card Reader

This is a known bug, it occurs in usb dependency (https://github.com/tessel/node-usb/issues/386), we can temporarily patch it by following below script

npm install --save-dev patch-package
npx patch-package --patch-dir node_modules/@vincss-public-projects/fido2-client/patches

Then you need to rebuild your project

# Node backend
npm rebuild
...
# Electron backend
npx electron-rebuild

Cannot find module 'noble-winrt' on Windows

Make sure you use the default Windows command line, 3rd party command line can make npm's behavior incorrect.
