WebAuthn Ed25519 Example

This project demonstrates how to use WebAuthn with Ed25519 key pairs for secure authentication.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+
  • Node.js (for frontend development)
  • Flask
  • SQLAlchemy

Setup

Backend

  1. Navigate to the backend directory:

    cd backend

  2. Install the necessary Python packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Initialize the database:

    python database.py

  4. Run the Flask server:

    python app.py

Frontend

  1. Open frontend/index.html in your browser.

Usage

  • Register: Creates a new Ed25519 key pair on the user's device and sends the public key to the server.
  • Authenticate: Signs a challenge with the private key stored on the user's device and sends it to the server for verification.

Trusted Parties

In this implementation, the trusted parties are the authenticator (user's device) and the user's browser. The private key never leaves the authenticator and is used only for signing authentication challenges.
