Paseto is a Secure Alternative to the JOSE Standards (JWT, etc.)

Paseto (Platform-Agnostic Security Tokens) is introduced as a secure alternative to JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and related JOSE standards. Paseto simplifies security by eliminating the complexities and vulnerabilities associated with JWT, like choosing algorithms and handling encryption keys. It offers versioned protocols with predefined ciphersuites to avoid configuration errors and downgrade attacks. Paseto aims to be secure by default, and its straightforward design makes it easy to implement and use. The new version 0.5.0 is ready for production use, with talks of submitting it as a standard to the IETF.
