U2F request flow diagram.

U2F is beginning to see more wide-spread deployment, with Github being one notable example site that utilizes it. Currently, Chrome integrates support, but lower-level integration in WebKit would broadly increase the potential user base.

There exists a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) C reference implementation, https://developers.yubico.com/libu2f-host/, supported by a manufacturer (Yubico) of U2F-compliant tokens. They also provide a test server for interactive experimentation (https://demo.yubico.com/u2f), reference server integration implementation, and cURL-able test endpoints.

This client (device host) reference implementation depends on: pkg-config, JSON-C, and HIDAPI for USB communication.

I very strongly desire U2F support both for my own site use, as well as for token-secured access to Github.
