Incubator's “Introduction to Passkeys Usage and Implementation”

• Build at least one technical prototype implementation for using passkey login in a tbd IdP product (e.g. SimpleSAMLphp or Shibboleth IdP)
• Run at least 1 workshop to discuss Passkey in the context of identity federation with the community of NREN and IdP participants
• Discuss feasibility, investigate and possibly test/implement combining passkey with SSI wallets
• Discuss the feasibility of a federated passkey service.

The following parties will use the results of this activity:
