For some use cases, for example if PRF outputs are used to derive encryption keys to use only on the client side,
it may be necessary to omit this {{AuthenticationExtensionsPRFOutputs/results}} output
if the {{PublicKeyCredential}} is sent to a remote server,
for example to perform the procedures in [[#sctn-rp-operations]].
Note in particular that the {{RegistrationResponseJSON}} and {{AuthenticationResponseJSON}}
returned by <code>{{PublicKeyCredential}}.{{PublicKeyCredential/toJSON()}}</code>
will include this {{AuthenticationExtensionsPRFOutputs/results}} output if present.
