Research direction

Start by examining the existing GPG flow and issue #41, which the report identifies as a preferred direction for self-substantiating records. Compare the proposed SSH public-key support with the atmo.sh example linked in the issue. The issue does not name files, tests, or a settled acceptance criterion, so the design and definition of done need clarification first.

Description

I'd love to have SSH Public Key support.

The existing GPG flow could be adapted. Personally I'd strongly prefer we do #41 support, to make our records self substantiating.

inspired by

This is something I've wanted for a bit in general but...

The call to action really was inspired by this other public key declaration effort, https://atmo.sh. Based on tangled. It notably doesn't have any attestation!
