!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the process of [Credential Enrollment] as implemented within the [Web Authentication API]
When a user wants to [register a credential|Credential Enrollment] to a [website] (referred to by [WebAuthN] as the "[WebAuthn Relying Party]"):
* The [WebAuthn Relying Party] generates a challenge.
* The [WebAuthn Relying Party] asks the [browser] ([WebAuthn Client]), through the [Credential Management API], to generate a new [credential] for the [WebAuthn Relying Party], specifying device capabilities, e.g., whether the [WebAuthn Client Device] provides its own user [authentication] (with biometrics, etc).
* After the [authenticator] obtains user [consent], the [authenticator] generates a [Key pair] and returns the [Public Key] and optional [Digitally Signed] [attestation] to the [WebAuthn Relying Party].
* The [WebAuthn Relying Party] forwards the [Public Key] to the server.
* The server stores the [Public Key], with a [Binding] with the [UserId], to remember the [credential] for future [authentications] ([WebAuthn Authentication]).
