Project mention: NIST: Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-23PuTTY-CAC was an interesting, although imperfect solution to using PIV/CAC cards together with SSH. I remember piloting it from 2013-2014 at an agency. Back then, it was maintained by Dan Risacher[0]. Nowadays it is maintained on GitHub[1] and adopted some interesting features like FIDO.

The Swedes also started their own from-scratch implementation, known as Heimdal (https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal), which has a bunch of nifty things in it including a from-scratch PKIX/x.509 implementation and a from-scratch ASN.1 compiler and library.
