The level 2 spec of the Web Authentication API (
https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/
) states that user agents MUST be able to return a non-null value for getPublicKey() when the public key has the algorithm -7 (ES256), -8 (Ed25519), or -257 (RS256).
https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#sctn-public-key-easy
However, the latest version of WebKit only supports algorithm -7 (ES256). While RSA isn't common, Ed25519 is already supported by various external security keys like the YubiKey series 5.
