How Tenvyr changes SSH access

Tenvyr is a control plane, not an SSH proxy. It governs identity, approvals, certificate issuance, host trust, and evidence. The actual SSH connection goes directly from the user’s system OpenSSH client to the target host.

User CLI ── requests approval and certificate ──> Tenvyr
User OpenSSH client ───────── direct SSH ───────> Host
Host agent ───── outbound identity + state ─────> Tenvyr

Private SSH keys remain on the user device. Host agents expose no inbound Tenvyr listener, and short-lived user certificates are capped at ten minutes.
