OpenPGP based SSH authentification

You can use the gpg-agent for ssh auth.
In gpg-agent.conf you put:
enable-putty-support

Than you can run the agent like this:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG.v2\bin\gpg-agent.exe" --daemon 
--enable-ssh-support
[assuming that is where your GPG is installed]

Putty will then login using the key. I have this working with a PGP 
smartcard.
