Hardware token are offering secure services in the field of cryptographic operation, citizen identity and payment to native applications. This community group will analyze use cases where browser (and web application developers) could benefit from those secure services. The expected deliverables of this community group are (1) documented use cases, (2) technical requirements for implementing those secure services in user agents, (3) draft APIs, (4) group charter - integrating suggested improvements received during the W3C Hardware Security WG charter proposal review.
Note : by hardware tokens, we mean technologies such as secure chips or secure elements, trusted execution environment, TPM....

September is coming, what is next ?

The Hardware Based Secure Services has entered into an interesting phase. As the
report
is finalized (except few editorial
issues
to solve), the CG members are prototyping. The prototypes are expected to be showed during the
W3C TPAC
F2F meeting in September in Lisbon. The targeted audience is
CG members attending the meeting on monday (details to be transmitted soon on the mailing list), and
TPAC attendees on wednesday during a breakout session
The objective is to socialize the report and prototypes in order to get opinion from browser makers who objected to the creation of a working group on a similar scope.
Spring report activity

Since its kickoff in April 2016 the Community Group had been meeting on a regular basis, face to face, or via conference call. the Community group is now focused on the delivery of its report [1] that will include [2] :
use cases where hardware based token are useful for web application
technical description of two secure features : secure transaction confirmation and secure credential storage
some rationale for architectural choices
In parallel, some Community Group members are developing some proof of concept for demonstrating the feasibility of those secure services, on mobile and PC environments.
The next calls are expected to be on 12th of July and 26th of July at 14:00 UTC, call details will be sent on the mailing list, and irc channel will be #hb-secure-services. Minutes will be published on the mailing list [3], as usual.
In addition, the current report is open for any github issue or pull request from the public [4].
Just get on board and give your input !

The Hardware-Based Secure Services Community Group met on the 26th and 27th of April at Morrison & Foerster’s offices in London. Read
the chairs’ report
and review slides presented by
Gemalto
Morpho
, and
Deutsche Telekom
At the workshop, we discussed two features in depth: Transaction Confirmation and Secure Credential Storage (key management). Join the CG
mailing list
to discuss these APIs and next steps.

The Hardware-Based Secure Services CG will hold a working meeting 26-27 April, in London, to develop use cases and draft designs. Please see the
workshop page
for more information and to register your interest.
Objective of the meeting
: The meeting will target 3 objectives : (1) describe use cases for the Hardware-Based Secure Services among the selected fields of identity/crypto/payment, (2) identify first technical requirements (including security and privacy ones), and (3) draft initial API(s) to address those use cases. We welcome demonstrations and and contributions of existing designs or prototypes.
