nassh: Add an agent backend for smart card keys

Implements a 'gsc' backend for the SSH agent introduced in the previous
commit. This backend enables the use of private keys stored on
OpenPGP-enabled smart cards for SSH authentication. It relies on the
Google Smart Card Connector client library to communicate with the
Smart Card Connector app (khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco), which
offers an NaCl port of PCSC-Lite and works with many popular smart
cards.

So far, only the requests SSH_AGENTC_REQUEST_IDENTITIES and
SSH_AGENTC_SIGN_REQUEST are supported, together with their respective
responses. When asked for SSH identities, the backend will read the
authentication subkeys from all connected smart card readers.

The backend only supports the OpenPGP applet and thus only identities of
'ssh-rsa' type. Support for the PIV applet and ECC identities can be
added with only minor changes to the overall structure.

The implementation introduces the following new classes:

* nassh.agent.backends.GSC: Implementation of the interface
   nassh.agent.Backend which provides SSH identities stored on smart
   cards.
* nassh.agent.backends.GSC.CommandAPDU: Represents command APDUs used
   in smart card communication.
* nassh.agent.backends.GSC.DataObject: Represents a data object stored
   on a smart card.
* nassh.agent.backends.GSC.SmartCardManager: Manages the lifecycle of a
   connection to a smart card reader and provides convenience functions
   for the command APDUs used in the SSH authentication scheme.
* nassh.agent.backends.GSC.StatusBytes: Represents status bytes
   returned by smart cards.

Hello

This repository contains the libdot JavaScript library and some web applications that make use of it.

The official copy of this repository is hosted at https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps.

There is also a mirror on github at https://github.com/libapps/libapps-mirror. Keep in mind that this mirror may occasionally be behind the official repository.

All changes must go through the Gerrit code review server on https://chromium-review.googlesource.com. Github pull requests cannot be accepted. Please see the HACK.md document in this directory for the details.

Top level directories

  • libdot/ is a small set of JS libraries initially developed as part of hterm, now available as shared code. It provides a base layer for web applications. The code is intended to work in any modern browser, in either a plain web page or a “privileged” environment such as a Chrome platform application or Firefox extension. In practice, it's only been put to use in Chrome platform applications so far.

  • hterm/ is a JS library that provides a terminal emulator. It is reasonably fast, reasonably correct, and reasonably portable across browsers.

  • nassh/ is the Secure Shell Chrome App (currently a “v1.5” app, soon to become a “v2” or platform app) that combines hterm with a NaCl build of OpenSSH to provide a PuTTY-like app for Chrome users.

  • ssh_client/ is the NaCl port of OpenSSH. It is used by nassh to create the Secure Shell App.

  • wash/ is a library for cross-origin virtual filesystems, similar to the Plan 9 filesystem. This directory also contains a simple bash-like shell environment for exploring these filesystems. The code in this directory is a work-in-progress.
