Did you know wolfSSH can use X.509 certificates in place of SSH public keys? wolfSSH supports RFC 6178, “X.509v3 Certificates for Secure Shell Authentication”. This uses wolfSSL’s certificate management for TLS, so the certificates may be checked against CRLs and OCSP.
wolfSSH has been used in applications as a server where it needed to validate some FPKI (Federal Public Key Infrastructure) profiles. It is used with clients that authenticate the user’s credentials accessed via a card reader. wolfSSH’s client can be given an X.509 certificate to authenticate the user with the server.
