The document discusses the W3C Web Authentication standard (also known as FIDO 2.0) for passwordless strong authentication on the web. It provides an overview of the key components and actors in the standard like FIDO authenticators, user agents, relying parties. It then summarizes the basic flows of registration and authentication in 2 phases. During registration, a key pair is generated on the authenticator and the public key is registered with the FIDO server. During authentication, the authenticator performs local authentication using the registered key and sends an assertion to the server for remote authentication.
