SSH

Nicolas Mattia shows a three-command way to create an SSH identity in the Mac Secure Enclave, protected by Touch ID and usable with GitHub, with no private key files on disk. He then digs into what sc_auth, CryptoTokenKit and Apple's ssh-keychain.dylib are actually doing, and where the documentation runs out.
