Subject: Registrations for all WebAuthn algorithm identifiers completed

We wrote the specification COSE and JOSE Registrations for WebAuthn 
Algorithms<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-cose-webauthn-algorithms-08> 
to create and register COSE and JOSE algorithm and elliptic curve identifiers 
for algorithms used by WebAuthn and CTAP2 that didn't yet exist.  I'm happy to 
report that all these registrations are now complete and the specification has 
progressed to the RFC Editor.  Thanks to the COSE working 
group<https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/cose/about/> for supporting this work.

Search for WebAuthn in the IANA COSE 
Registry<https://www.iana.org/assignments/cose/cose.xhtml> and the IANA JOSE 
Registry<https://www.iana.org/assignments/jose/jose.xhtml> to see the 
registrations.  These are now stable and can be used by applications, both in 
the WebAuthn/FIDO2 space and for other application areas, including 
decentralized identity (where the secp256k1 "bitcoin curve" is in widespread 
use).

The algorithms registered are:

  *   RS256 - RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256 - new for COSE

*       RS384 - RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384 - new for COSE

*       RS512 - RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512 - new for COSE

*       RS1 - RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-1 - new for COSE

*       ES256K - ECDSA using secp256k1 curve and SHA-256 - new for COSE and JOSE

The elliptic curves registered are:

*       secp256k1 - SECG secp256k1 curve - new for COSE and JOSE

                                                       -- Mike
