PKCS#11 URIs are an RFC7512 scheme for naming individual token based
keys. In a system which supports them (Such as via p11-kit), every
key may be uniquely specified via such a URI (so you can add specific
keys from token which have more than one). libp11 is a project that
installs an openssl engine which supports PKCS#11 URIs via modules
installed in the p11-kit directory.
Support is simple in that the OpenSSL libp11 engine already supports
the URI scheme, so all that has to be done is to add extra code to try
the engines anyway, even if a file corresponding to the ssh-add can't
be found. The only problem with this scheme is that it can't return a
meaningful error if there's a problem with the PKCS#11 URI. This will
be fixed in the provider architecture, but it's a historical remnant
of the way the engine keys work (returning NULL for every error).
The key can be inserted by URI:
> ssh-add 'pkcs11:token=id_rsa_new'
And when successfully added, it will be shown by URI:
> ssh-add -l
