It emulates a hardware U2F HID device and performs cryptographic operations using the OS X Keychain. This tool works with Google Chrome and Opera's built-in U2F implementations as well as with the U2F extensions for [OS X Safari](https://github.com/Safari-FIDO-U2F/Safari-FIDO-U2F) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/u2f-support-add-on/).
