!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an [Authenticator] that follows the [WebAuthn Authenticator Model]


is an [Authenticator] and a [cryptographic] [entity] used by a [WebAuthn Client] to:
* generate a [Public Key] [credential] and register it with a [Relying Party]
* [authenticate] by potentially verifying the user, and then [cryptographically|Cryptography] [digitally signing|Digitally Signed] and returning, in the form of an [Authentication] [Assertion], and other [Data] 
presented by a [WebAuthn Relying Party] in concert with the [WebAuthn Client].

[{$pagename}]s may be one or the other:
* [Platform Authenticator]
* [Roaming Authenticator]
* [Virtual Authenticator]

[{$pagename}]s may utilize:
* [Biometric Identification]


Credential IDs are generated by [{$pagename}]s in two forms:
* At least 16 [bytes] that include at least 100 [bits] of [entropy], or
* The [Public Key] credential source, without its Credential ID, [encrypted] so only its managing [authenticator] can decrypt it. This form allows the [{$pagename}] to be nearly [stateless], by having the [WebAuthn Relying Party] store any necessary [state].
