Description

OpenSSH supports hardware authentication through the two key types "ecdsa-sk" and "ed25519-sk". From what I can tell this is not supported by warpgate.

How hard would it be to implement this? If it is relatively straightforward I would be willing to create a PR in the following weeks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how warpgate currently handles SSH key authentication, specifically the Key type parsing and authentication logic. Look for where ecdsa sk and ed25519 sk key types should be added. You may need to integrate with a crypto library that supports FIDO/U2F keys.
