If you use Symfony Framework, you may be interested in the bundle and, optionally, the Stimulus component.
Hereafter the dependency tree:
web-auth/webauthn-lib: this is the core library. This package can be used in any PHP project or within any popular framework (Laravel, CakePHP…)
web-auth/webauthn-symfony-bundle: this is a Symfony bundle that ease the integration of this authentication mechanism in your Symfony project.
The core library also depends on web-auth/cose-lib and web-auth/metadata-service. What are these dependencies?
web-auth/cose-lib contains several cipher algorithms and COSE key support to verify the digital signatures sent by the authenticators during the creation and authentication ceremonies. These algorithms are compliant with the . This library can be used by any other PHP projects. At the moment only signature algorithms are available, but it is planned to add encryption algorithms.
