--- Comment #2 from Eric Postpischil <bugzilla.mindrot.org at edp.org> ---
The second paragraph in the preceding comment contemplates an
implementation in which the ssh client does the work of retrieving the
key and verifying it. That is not necessary. When initially contacting
the server, the client would supply the name of a user on the server
system. The ssh server would read a key from that user’s files and use
it in the normal authentication process instead of the usual system
host key.
