Based, Sod – Touch ID-Backed SSH Keys Using the Secure Enclave works in show hn launch.

Hi HN! Showcasing sod - a minimal Secure Enclave harness for ssh keys.sod generates an ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, unexportable key inside the Apple Secure Enclave.It then orchestrates a barebones ssh-agent session which, in short - allows authenticating to OpenSSH servers the same way you would normally - but with your fingerprint instead of your password.No special support required on the server side, this simply bridges typical ssh client behavior with Secure Enclave signing primitives.sod is CLI-only, and "speaks" in typical OpenSSH verbs: ssh-keygen, ssh-add, ssh-agent.sod is a lean codebase written in Swift - zero dependencies (outside of Swift's own). It does not implement any cryptography i

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
