Add smart card authentication

I've a personal smart card with a private key. Is it possible to add as a new authentication method to gmail? It'd be nice to require a card to log in at least in a new device.

I'm interested in ready solutions not in APIs.

I'm also curious as to how I can accomplish this. It's a fantastic idea for my future technoblade hoodie's recordings ventures.
