Description
On Windows platforms, the SDK only accepts RSA keys for use is signing. GDCH keys are not RSA keys. If we need to support GDCH on Windows, we need to add signature support.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by determining whether GDCH credentials must work on Windows, then inspect the SDK's Windows signing behavior and how it restricts keys to RSA. Done means a clear support decision, or signature support for GDCH keys if Windows support is required.
