This is 100% compatible pure Go (Golang) implementation of PASETO tokens.
Paseto is everything you love about JOSE (JWT, JWE, JWS) without any of the many design deficits that plague the JOSE standards.
Paseto (Platform-Agnostic SEcurity TOkens) is a specification and reference implementation for secure stateless tokens.
Unlike JSON Web Tokens (JWT), which gives developers more than enough rope with which to hang themselves, Paseto only allows secure operations. JWT gives you "algorithm agility", Paseto gives you "versioned protocols". It's incredibly unlikely that you'll be able to use Paseto in an insecure way.
Caution: Neither JWT nor Paseto were designed for stateless session management. Paseto is suitable for tamper-proof cookies, but cannot prevent replay attacks by itself.
To install the library use the following command:
$ go get -u github.com/o1egl/paseto
This library contains a predefined JsonToken struct for using as payload, but you are free to use any data types and structs you want.
During the encoding process a payload of type string and []byte is used without transformation. For other data types, the library tries to encode the payload to json.
