Currently, azure-c-shared-utility does not support PKCS#8 for Windows. It will interpret certificates as PKCS#1.

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows certificate parsing path in azure-c-shared-utility and identify where certificates are interpreted as PKCS#1. Compare that path with the required PKCS#8 handling and verify the result with the project's existing Windows certificate tests, if available; done means PKCS#8 certificates are accepted without breaking PKCS#1 support.
