ASP.NET Core 5.0 - FIDO2 Credential Get

This article will describe the login or assertion ceremony I implement in the Users Without Passwords Project (UWPP). I will assume you have downloaded the ASP.NET Core 5.0 - Users Without Passwords Project.

The log in or assertion ceremony verifies the authenticating device belongs to the user and validates the integrity of the response with the PublicKey and the response signature. The UWPP configures the CredentialRequestOptions including a list of AllowCredentials which are all the Credential Ids related to the user before the user calls the navigator. credentials. get() function from JavaScript. The serialized options must have a field name of publicKey. See ASP.NET Core 5.0 - FIDO2 Challenge Options.

LoginChallenge.cshtml.cs > OnGetAsync:

// Generate challenge
ChallengeGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
var challenge = ChallengeGuid.ToByteArray();  // 16 bytes

var currentHost = HttpContext.Request.Host.ToString();
var relyingPartyId = currentHost.Split(":")[0];

// 5.5 https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#dictionary-assertion-options
// allowCredentials, of type sequence<PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor>, defaulting to []
var allowCredentials = new List<AllowCredential>();
var userCredentials = await _credentialService.GetCredentialIdsAndTranportsTupleList ByAppUserIdAsync(AppUserId);
if (userCredentials.Count == 0)
    throw new InvalidOperationException($"No Credentials found for AppUser.Id = {AppUserId})");

foreach (var cred in userCredentials)
    allowCredentials.Add(new AllowCredential()
    {
        Type = _challengeOptions.CredentialType,
        Id = cred.Item1,
        Transports = cred.Item2.Split(", ").ToList()
    });

var userVerification = _challengeOptions.AuthenticatorSelection.UserVerification; //required, preferred, discouraged
var timeout = _challengeOptions.AssertionTimeout;
var extensions = new
{
    uvm = _challengeOptions.UvmExtension
};

// 7.2.1 Let options be a new PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions structure configured to the Relying Party's
// needs for the ceremony.
var getOptions = new
{
    challenge,
    allowCredentials,
    relyingPartyId,
    userVerification,
    timeout,
    extensions
};
var jsonSerializerOptions = new JsonSerializerOptions
{
    PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase,
    Converters = { new JsonStringEnumConverter(JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase) },
    WriteIndented = true
};

GetOptions = JsonSerializer.Serialize(getOptions, jsonSerializerOptions);

The CredentialService. GetCredentialIdsAndTranportsTupleList ByAppUserIdAsync function is new. If the browser supports the credential. response. getTransports function during the registration or attestation ceremony, the UWPP stores the list of tranports the authenticator supports. Such transports may be USB, NFC, BLE or internal (applicable when the authenticator is not removable from the device). See MDN - AuthenticatorAttestationResponse. getTransports(). If none of the AllowCredentials' Tansports are empty and none contain internal, the assertion ceremony's first response is much quicker.

The JavaScript requestAuthentication function converts the CredentialRequestOptions' Challenge and each AllowCredential's Id to Uint8Array type before calling navigator. credentials. get. The UWPP implements a small setTimeout() function because I found Firefox freezes the DOM before the waiting-div is displayed. The UWPP extracts the ExtensionResults with the credential. getClientExtensionResults function.

let getOptions = @Html.Raw(Model.GetOptions);

function requestAuthentication() {

    // Update byte string to expected Uint8Array
    try {
        if (typeof (getOptions.challenge) != Uint8Array)
            getOptions.challenge = getUint8Array(getOptions.challenge);

        let l = getOptions.allowCredentials.length;
        for (let i = 0; i < l; i++)
            if (typeof (getOptions.allowCredentials[i].id) != Uint8Array)
                getOptions.allowCredentials[i].id = getUint8Array(getOptions.allowCredentials[i].id);
                
    } catch (e) {
        showMessageModal(e, 'alert-warning');
        return;
    }

    document.querySelector('.request-div').classList.add('d-none');
    document.querySelector('.waiting-div').classList.remove('d-none');

    // Firefox v91.0 freezes the DOM before the waiting-div is displayed
    setTimeout(function () {
        // 7.1.2 Call navigator.credentials.get() and pass options as the publicKey option.
        navigator.credentials.get({ publicKey: getOptions })
            .then((credential) => {

                if (authAbortSignal.aborted) {
                    showMessageModal('Abort by user, authAbortSignal.aborted.', 'alert-danger', false, '', '', true, './login',
                        '_self', 'Try Again', 'btn-primary', false);
                    return;
                }

                let credentialJson = credentialToJSON(credential);

                credentialJson.extensionResults = credential.getClientExtensionResults();

The UWPP implements the recursive credentialToJSON function in site.js to serialize the credential.

function credentialToJSON(pubKeyCred) {
    if (pubKeyCred instanceof Array) {
        let arr = [];
        for (let i of pubKeyCred)
            arr.push(credentialToJSON(i));
        return arr;
    }
    if (pubKeyCred instanceof ArrayBuffer)
        return btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint8Array(pubKeyCred)));
    if (pubKeyCred instanceof Object) {
        let obj = {};
        for (let key in pubKeyCred)
            obj[key] = credentialToJSON(pubKeyCred[key]);
        return obj;
    }
    return pubKeyCred;
}

The UWPP implements a Challenge entity to log challenges with all available data. The Verified property allows the UWPP to log failed challenges. The authenticator's response is posted to the server for decoding, verifying and storage.

The AssertionResponseModel contains the authenticator response's ClientDataJSON, AuthenticatorData, Signature, and UserHandle properties.

AssertionResponseModel.cs:

public class AssertionResponseModel
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string RawId { get; set; }
    public AuthenticatorAssertionResponse Response { get; set; }
    public object ExtensionResults { get; set; }
}
public class AuthenticatorAssertionResponse
{
    public string ClientDataJson { get; set; }
    public string AuthenticatorData { get; set; }
    public string Signature { get; set; }
    public string UserHandle { get; set; }
}

I developed attestation and assertion crypto classes and commented the code with references to the new standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium. See Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 2 W3C Proposed Recommendation, 25 February 2021. The AssertionCrypto. DecodeAssertionResponse function verifies all the new standards except TokenBinding (7.1.10, 7.2.14) which is not supported by popular browsers. If the verification for a standard fails, an invalid challenge with the error message is logged. Valid challenges are logged when a challenge completes successfully. The user can display the challenge history by credential in Manage > Credentials.

The AssertionResponseModel, PublicKey, SignatureCounter, Challenge, Origin, RelyingPartyId, and UserVerficationRequirement are verified with the AssertionCrypto. DecodeAssertionResponse function which returns an AuthenticationResult. The ClientDataJSON, AuthenticatorData, and Signature are decoded to bytes with the Microsoft. AspNetCore. WebUtilities. Base64UrlTextEncoder. Decode function. The ClientDataJson is used to verify the type (create or get), the challenge and Relying Party's origin. The UWPP implements an AuthenticatorUtils class with many enums and functions from GitHub - passwordless-lib / fido2-net-lib. The AuthenticatorUtils. GetSizedByteArray function slices the AuthenticatorData byte array to extract and validate properties. The Signature counter is decoded and compared to the stored SignatureCounter. If the Signature counter is greater than the Credential. SignatureCounter, the Credential. SignatureCounter is updated with the new count. If the Signature counter is less than or equal to the Credential. SignatureCounter, the verification fails because the authenticator may be cloned.

The IsAssertionValid function first decodes the PublicKey for KeyType and Algorithm. If the KeyType is EC2, the PublicKey is decoded as an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDsa). If the KeyType is RSA, the PublicKey is decoded as a RSA Algorithm. The PublicKey Algorithm is used to verify a valid signature over the binary concatenation of the clientDataHash and authenticatorDataBytes. The AuthenticatorUtils.SigFromEcDsaSig function from GitHub - passwordless-lib / fido2-net-lib / Src/ Fido2/ CryptoUtils.cs has been updated to use the MSDocs - AsnDecoder Class, new in .NET 5.0.
