The SSH agent protocol is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-miller-ssh-agent-04

This file document's OpenSSH's extensions to the agent protocol.

1. session-bind@openssh.com extension

This extension allows a ssh client to bind an agent connection to a
particular SSH session identifier as derived from the initial key
exchange (as per RFC4253 section 7.2) and the host key used for that
exchange. This binding is verifiable at the agent by including the
initial KEX signature made by the host key.

The message format is:

	byte		SSH_AGENTC_EXTENSION (0x1b)
	string		session-bind@openssh.com
	string		hostkey
	string		session identifier
	string		signature
	bool		is_forwarding

Where 'hostkey' is the encoded server host public key, 'session
identfier' is the exchange hash derived from the initial key
exchange, 'signature' is the server's signature of the session
identifier using the private hostkey, as sent in the final
SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY/SSH2_MSG_KEXECDH_REPLY message of the initial key
exchange. 'is_forwarding' is a flag indicating whether this connection
should be bound for user authentication or forwarding.

When an agent received this message, it will verify the signature and
check the consistency of its contents, including refusing to accept
a duplicate session identifier, or any attempt to bind a connection
previously bound for authentication. It will then then record the
binding for the life of the connection for use later in testing per-key
destination constraints.

2. restrict-destination-v00@openssh.com key constraint extension

The key constraint extension supports destination- and forwarding path-
restricted keys. It may be attached as a constraint when keys or
smartcard keys are added to an agent.

	byte		SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_EXTENSION (0xff)
	string		restrict-destination-v00@openssh.com
	constraint[]	constraints

Where a constraint consists of:

	string		from_username (must be empty)
	string		from_hostname
	keyspec[]	from_hostkeys
	string		to_username
	string		to_hostname
	keyspec[]	to_hostkeys

An a keyspec consists of:

	string		keyblob
	bool		is_ca

When receiving this message, the agent will ensure that the
'from_username' field is empty, and that 'to_hostname' and 'to_hostkeys'
have been supplied (empty 'from_hostname' and 'from_hostkeys' are valid
and signify the inital hop from the host running ssh-agent). The agent
will then record the constraint against the key.

Subsequent operations on this key including add/remove/request
identities and, in particular, signature requests will check the key
constraints agains the session-bind@openssh.com bindings recorded for
the agent connection over which they were received.

3. SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_MAXSIGN key constraint

This key constraint allows communication to an agent of the maximum
number of signatures that may be made with an XMSS key. The format of
the constraint is:

	byte		SSH_AGENT_CONSTRAIN_MAXSIGN (0x03)
	uint32		max_signatures

This option is only valid for XMSS keys.
