The U2F API should be protected by the WebIDL annotation [SecureContext] from Bug 1177957.
Depends on: 1231681, 1177957
Depends on: 1162772
Component: DOM: Security → DOM: Device Interfaces
Use the [SecureContext] webidl notation to hide the powerful "window.u2f"
feature when not loaded in a secure context.

Review commit: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/55052/diff/#index_header
See other reviews: https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/55052/
The trivial patch for this is insufficient, as setting the [SecureContext] WebIDL feature breaks the standard mechanism for executing secure Mochitests. The core method, isSecureContext(), marks as insecure any page loaded from a context that originated from an insecure parent. 

Marking blocked on Bug 1274315.
Depends on: 1274315

It looks like this is doable by setting the pref `"dom.securecontext.whitelist"` to cover the mochi.test:8888 host rather than waiting on Bug 1274315.
Priority: -- → P3
It looks like this has tests running under https now, except for the unsecured appid facet test. Is it worth adding SecureContext on this yet, or are we just gonna deprecate this anyways since WebAuthn shipped?

Cool.

You're right, we have it basically ready now Kyle with the test refactoring, and with a minor tweak it works fine. 

Smaug - There's no WebIDL for this, but it's a powerful feature.

Why is this enough?..

...shouldn't also this and possibly some other related interfaces, if there are such, be limited to SecureContext

I guess there should be a test that '"U2F" in window' is false in non-SecureContext. 

(I'm not sure which spec to look at here)

Re: the test, `dom/u2f/tests/test_appid_facet_insecure.html` does check that accessing `window.u2f` from insecure context throws, so I think that's covered.

Thanks, Olli!

> Why is this enough?..

Tim and I took a look at WebCrypto's SecureContext patch-in-progress and it looks like we should also do this for all Interfaces, which is just the one. Added; thanks!

Testing that window.u2f throws (why should it throw?) is different from testing whether there is
interface object for U2F in the scope.

Of course I wish there was a spec for this stuff.

FWIW, also U2F should be false.
u2f refers to the getter in window object, U2F to the interface object.
