Description

Finally transcribing a personal mail from Jan 2023 into an issue for visibility:

While Windows Hello's (RSA) registration works when attestation is off, it fails when attestation is requested.

That is because attestation uses the TCG Framework, whose attestation response has an opaque binary structure that is not easy to understand nor parse.

Attestation support during Windows Hello credential registration is considered a feature request.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is mentioned. Research the module's Windows Hello registration and attestation implementation first; done would require attestation support to work during credential registration.
