I spent two weeks (my Christmas vacation) working on rough drafts for several problems I wanted to solve in 2018. PAST was one of items I listed.
(The list is here: https://github.com/paragonie-scott/public-projects/issues/6 https://github.com/paragonie-scott/public-projects/issues/6)
99.9% of that time was spent trying to come up with a better name/acronym, without success. I decided to just give it a plain/obvious name until a better one surfaced.
- idbehold 9y agoVersioned Protocol Security Tokens: VPST Novice-Proof Security Tokens: NPST Just Verify Valid Tokens: JVVT Safer Security Tokens: SST Note: the first one is my only real suggestion, the rest are just for fun. And you are right, it is surprisingly difficult to come up with a good name.
- cdubzzz 9y agoMaybe just change "agnostic" to "neutral": PNST? "Independent" is probably better, but PIST may not be so great a choice (:
- irq-1 9y agoRefer to it with a version number: PAST2, PAST3, etc.. You could also drop the use mapping: change 'sign' to 'public-auth' and explain that it's a 'sign' operation (a.k.a. digital signatures)
- audiolion 9y agomy favourite is PAST4 tee-hee
- igammarays 9y agoVJWT: Versioned JWT
- piotrkubisa 9y agoPINJWT - "PAST is not a JWT". // Please, do not take it seriously. Edit: Good job on PAST and your other projects. I often follow your GitHub activity and publications to check on what interesting you are working currently.
