Authenticator is the new token

Recently I've written a couple of short articles (FIDO2 Project, Client to Authenticator Protocol) that rely heavily on the notion of an authenticator as defined by NIST.^[1] Unfortunately, current coverage of this topic is rather vague and out-of-date, and so I'm inclined to rewrite the article from scratch.

I just published a complete rewrite of this article. Comments and edits welcome. PS. New content was developed on the Draft:Authenticator page, which is now frozen. Tom Scavo (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
