+Provides library functionality for communicating with a FIDO device
+over USB as well as verifying attestation and assertion signatures.
+
+This library aims to support the FIDO U2F and FIDO 2 protocols for
+communicating with a USB authenticator via the Client-to-Authenticator
+Protocol (CTAP 1 and 2). In addition to this low-level device access,
+classes defined in the fido2.client and fido2.server modules implement
+higher level operations which are useful when interfacing with
+an Authenticator, or when implementing WebAuthn support for a Relying
+Party.
+
+pyscard is an optional dependency.
