That's nice and all but standards exist for a reason. You ask devs to use it in order to be compliant. Regardless of merits, you can't ask people who are not knowledgable about crypto to use a library by some guy/corp just because you think it has better merits. I mean, I guess you can and some will listen but only a few. Most webdevs for non-web businesses are happy to go with a standard so if something goes wrong they don't get blamed for picking it. And many security/vulnerability pros agree with that line of thinking as well.
In practice,if paseto is better I think an internet draft is in order. If JSOE is bad by commonly accepted security measurements then shouldn't the ietf wg have a mailing list where these shortcomings can be discussed and fixed?

- badrabbit 7y agoIt would be great if it at least becomes a draft. Did IETF simply ignore the proposal since 2018?
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoNo, it became a draft. It just hasn't become a RFC. See: https://github.com/paragonie/paseto/issues/108 https://github.com/paragonie/paseto/issues/108
