Paseto (Platform-Agnostic Security Tokens) is an open-source security token format designed as a more secure alternative to JWT (JSON Web Tokens). Unlike JWT, Paseto eliminates common cryptographic pitfalls by avoiding weak algorithms. It is designed to be secure by default, with built-in cryptographic best practices, making it ideal for applications requiring robust authentication and token management.
Features
- Stronger security model compared to JWT
- No support for insecure algorithms (like HMAC with SHA-1)
- Easy to use with simple APIs for encoding and decoding
- Supports both local and public (asymmetric) key cryptography
- Built-in support for token expiration and claims
- Compatible with multiple programming languages
