+opkssh is a tool which enables ssh to be used with OpenID Connect
+allowing SSH access to be managed via identities like alice@example.com
+instead of long-lived SSH keys. It does not replace SSH, but instead
+generates SSH public keys containing PK Tokens and configures sshd
+to verify them. These PK Tokens contain standard OpenID Connect ID
+Tokens. This protocol builds on the OpenPubkey which adds user
+public keys to OpenID Connect without breaking compatibility with
+existing OpenID Provider.
