Research direction

Start by reading the documentation's TODO section and locating the existing SSH signature support related to FIDO/U2F. The issue names no files or tests, so first establish the protocol scope and implementation entry points with a maintainer; done means supported FIDO/U2F signatures are covered and reviewed.

Description

Hi,

per the docs this is in the TODO section.
For a personal project this would be very useful to me.

Is there any work on it? If not, I am willing to try and see if I can implement it.

I have little experience with cryptography, so this is only if someone is willing to review my eventual implementation.
