Dear All,
I would like to announce availability of X.509 certificate support in
OpenSSH version 7.0 (code name Integration) with following main feature
- support for external devices.
The new version allow client to use as identity keys and certificates
stored into "external devices".
Format of client identity is engine:[ENGINE_NAME]:[CERT_CRITERIA].
Version is tested with OpenSSL E_NSS engine
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/enss/.
In brief you could use certificates and keys from Firefox, SeaMonkey,
Thunderbird security database to authenticate to remote hosts.
Yours sincerely
Roumen Petrov
