            Bug ID: 3761
           Summary: ssh-keygen fails for security keys without attestation
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.9p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-keygen
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: michael-dev at fami-braun.de

Hi,

ssh-keygen fails for security key key types (ecdsa-sk and alike) if
they do not support attestation. A notable example is the current
windows 11 windows hello security key.

This results in the following bugs:
* https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/2040
* https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/2279

It used to work, so probably windows hello removed attestation in
preparation for passkey support:

According to https://github.com/Yubico/libfido2/issues/840,
fido_cred_verify_self should not be called for "none" type attestation,
so this has to be fixed in openssh.

Please find a patch here
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/542/files  that works
for me.

Regards,
M. Braun
