Summary

This intent is to add a user activation requirement for Secure Payment
Confirmation (SPC) credential enrollment in a cross-origin iframe to help
mitigate a privacy issue (see w3c/secure-payment-confirmation#128
<https://github.com/w3c/secure-payment-confirmation/issues/128> for
discussion of a potential identity tracking attack).

Original feature summary: Secure payment confirmation augments the payment
authentication experience on the web with the help of WebAuthn. The feature
adds a new 'payment' extension to WebAuthn, which allows a relying party
such as a bank to create a PublicKeyCredential that can be queried by any
merchant origin as part of an online checkout via the Payment Request API
using the 'secure-payment-confirmation' payment method.

Interoperability and Compatibility

While adding a new requirement for user activation is technically a
breaking change, we are confident in this change as the feature is expected
to be used in a payment flow where the user has provided some form of input
to continue. We have confirmed with the external partners who are using
this feature that they do currently have a user activation.

Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/570)
Historically (>1 year old) positive signal from informal conversation in
W3C Payment Handler meetings. However Firefox have since not been involved
in the API development.

WebKit: No signal (
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-August/031956.html)

Web developers: Positive (
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2021Aug/0005.html)
Support and involvement in API development from multiple web developers and
payment industry partners. Both Stripe and AirBnB have publicly stated that
they have either completed or are in the process of
prototyping/experimenting with SPC


Debuggability

Existing devtools debugging features should cover SPC (e.g. breakpoints,
console, etc)

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

Yes, coverage for the user activation requirement will be added to the
existing test suite:

Launch bug

Original SPC launch bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1236570

We believe this is a small enough change to an existing feature that it
doesn’t require its own launch bug.
