Class AuthenticatorTransports

Namespace
Yubico.YubiKey.Fido2
Assembly
Yubico.YubiKey.dll

This class contains the standard-specified strings that describe the possible FIDO2 transports an authenticator can use to communicate with clients. Use these strings when adding transports to transport lists in order to guarantee compliance with the standards.

public static class AuthenticatorTransports
Inheritance
object
AuthenticatorTransports

Remarks

The standards specify, in various places, a transports element that is an array of strings describing transports. The standards also define some specific strings for some specific transports. For example, to specify USB as a supported transport, the string is "usb". The standards also allow for non-standard strings.

This static class contains defined strings so that when you add a transport to a list, you can guarantee using the correct value.

For example, 

credentialId.AddTransport(AuthenticatorTransports1.Usb);

Fields

Bluetooth
