PUB (Prosperous Universal Backports) is a proposal to fork the most important open source packages that the world's economy runs on, maintain them with agents, and serve them through a drop-in registry mirror. When a critical vulnerability lands, a patched package should exist in hours, not whenever an unpaid volunteer gets to it. This post covers how we would pick which packages to fork, what an agent is allowed to ship on its own, and why this has to be a public commons rather than another security product.

In this blog post, I'll show you how to setup a Yubikey with both signing and authentication keys. As a driving example, I'll describe how to use a Yubikey to sign your git commits and authenticate via SSH with GitHub. Of course you can reuse this guide to authenticate with any other SSH server as well.
