The Web Authentication Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 2. This specification defines an API enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly authenticating users. This is Web Authentication Level 2. Substantive changes since Level 1 are:

• Added new method to allow Discoverable/Resident Credentials Preferred
• New methods added for Attestation Objects
• Added Attestation types (Enterprise, Apple)
• Added Large Blob storage and credential properties

Explanatory materials and implementation considerations have been updated as well.

Comments are welcome through 26 March 2021.

The EPUB 3 Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of EPUB Accessibility 1.1. This document specifies content conformance requirements for verifying the accessibility of EPUB Publications. It also specifies accessibility metadata requirements for the discoverability of EPUB Publications. The document takes an abstract approach to the accessibility requirements for EPUB Publications, similar to how WCAG 2 separates its accessibility guidelines from the techniques to achieve them. This approach allows the guidelines to remain stable even as the format evolves.

To facilitate this approach, a companion EPUB Accessibility Techniques 1.1 has also been published today as a W3C Working Group Note, which outlines conformance techniques. These techniques explain how to meet the requirements of this document for different versions of EPUB.

The Working Group welcomes comments via the GitHub repository issues.
