Description

Heyo,

So I've been working on SSH Certificate parsing in pure rust for a while and might have some features that we could port over. I would also love to be able to get feedback on the code I've been writing for the past 2 years.

https://github.com/obelisk/sshcerts

Ultimately it would probably be best if we could port all the functionality for dealing with SSH certificates over then I can retire that crate and build more specific ones for the Yubikey portions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SSH certificate functionality in the linked obelisk/sshcerts repository and comparing it with this repository's current SSH components. The issue proposes porting all certificate-related functionality but does not identify target files, tests, or a bounded definition of done; clarify the scope before implementation.
