14/// The public key extracted from a COSE key structure during registration.
15///
16/// Four algorithms are supported:
17/// - **ES256** — ECDSA P-256 with SHA-256 (COSE alg `-7`). Most common.
18/// - **ES384** — ECDSA P-384 with SHA-384 (COSE alg `-35`).
19/// - **EdDSA** — Ed25519 (COSE alg `-8`). Used by newer FIDO2 authenticators.
20/// - **RS256** — RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 with SHA-256 (COSE alg `-257`). Used by
21///   older YubiKey 4-series devices and Windows Hello.
