fido_dev_make_cred — generates a new credential on a FIDO2 device
Contents
Description
The fido_dev_make_cred() function asks the FIDO2 device represented by dev to generate a new credential
according to the following parameters defined in cred:
-type;
-clientdatahash;
-relyingparty;
-userattributes;
-listofexcludedcredentialIDs;
-resident/discoverablekeyanduserverificationattributes.
See fido_cred_set_authdata(3) for information on how these values are set.
If a PIN is not needed to authenticate the request against dev, then pin may be NULL. Otherwise pin must
point to a NUL-terminated UTF-8 string.
After a successful call to fido_dev_make_cred(), the fido_cred_authdata_ptr(3), fido_cred_pubkey_ptr(3),
fido_cred_x5c_ptr(3), and fido_cred_sig_ptr(3) functions may be invoked on cred to retrieve the various
parts of the generated credential.
Please note that fido_dev_make_cred() is synchronous and will block if necessary.
