  Description     : communicate with a FIDO device over USB

libfido2 provides library functionality and command-line tools to
communicate with a FIDO device over USB, and to verify attestation and
assertion signatures.

libfido2 supports the FIDO U2F (CTAP 1) and FIDO 2.0 (CTAP 2) protocols.


This is going to be an optional dependency of OpenSSH 8.2 (optional at
build time, I think, though it seems sufficiently useful that I'd be
inclined to link against it by default if it doesn't impose an
unreasonable run-time footprint), needed for U2F/FIDO support which is
the principal new feature in that release.  As such I'd like to be able
to enable it.

I do have a Yubikey 5 NFC which would be suitable for testing this with,
and in principle I'd probably be able to maintain this package
reasonably well, but I also have a lot to do and would rather give
somebody else the chance to take it on first.  I expect I'll start work
on it in a week or two if nobody else picks this up.
