#1039: Delegation-oriented FedCM

Opened Jan 16, 2025

こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting an early TAG design review of the Delegation-oriented FedCM.

An extension to FedCM to allow Social login on the Web without phone-homing the Identity Provider.

  • User research: TBD
  • Security and Privacy self-review²: TBD

  • Primary contacts:
    • @samuelgoto
  • Organization/project driving the design: Google
  • Multi-stakeholder feedback³:
    • Chromium comments: intent to prototype
    • Mozilla comments: We believe this addresses part of the original feedback we got for FedCM from Mozilla here: "We ultimately want to be able to offer options where IdPs are not in a position to track users through their use of identity information. The current design always involves notifying the IdP of all login attempts. This has a number of advantages from a security perspective. The IdP is able to audit logins and present users with information about their activities. Also, the IdP is in a better position to block access to identity information for bad RPs. Ultimately, we would like to be able to offer users at least the option of a more private choice here, but we recognize the practical security benefits of the current design."
    • WebKit comments: TBD

This is very early and we are looking for directional guidance.
