## Scope

The Working Group will specify new web platform features intended to be
implemented in browsers or similar user agents. The purpose of these
features is to support authentication and authorization flows without
compromising security principles for IdPs, RPs, and user agents as well
as user privacy. Here \"privacy\" minimally refers to the appropriate
processing of personal information. The result of this work is the
development of new mechanisms that define how information is passed by the
browser between the RP and the IdP to facilitate federated
authentication; it is not an authentication method.

If any of the mechanisms developed to support authentication and authorization flows looks like it will result in breaking changes for existing protocols, work on that mechanism must include a well-documented transition period.
