You could also just stick it behind a https GET and probably skip a bunch of bother.

Now you've just moved your authentication to the SSL PKI.

In that case, use the SSL certs directly. You'd have add support OpenSSH of course, or just convert the certificates to SSH format, but it would be architecturally much simpler.

As to the original question here, the benefit compared to other PKI alternatives (including the SSH PKI in the original question) is that revocation is much easier.
