How does that work, do you know a good tutorial for this?
I made my own CA for this because nothing else could provide transparency regarding certificate issuance (whether an attacker issued a "spare" backdoor certificate)

Look for a tutorial on ssh certificate auth, and use ed25519-sk keys for the CA.
But PIV only supports keys up to 2048 bits. :<
I didn't say anything about PIV. The article I was replying to is talking about sk keys, and so am I.
