Remarks
Creates a new credential.
When a credential is created, a cryptographic key-pair - CredentialKey - is created which is used to authenticate the store to the Issuing Authority. The private part of this key-pair never leaves secure hardware and the public part can be obtained using WritableIdentityCredential#getCredentialKeyCertificateChain(byte[]) on the returned object.
In addition, all of the Credential data content is imported and a certificate for the CredentialKey and a signature produced with the CredentialKey are created. These latter values may be checked by an issuing authority to verify that the data was imported into secure hardware and that it was imported unmodified.
