I believe Google does this now for their auth cookies.
- gcr 11y agoHow can this fix prevent this class of attacks? The malicious app has local access to the user's machine, which means it has the ability to read and overwrite all files that the browser manages. In the worst case, we could create malware that just reads the browser's client public key and create our own session with the same one.
