Thanks for this, it's very timely given what I'm working on right now. Google's proposal seems wildly overcomplicated for the use cases I've ever run across.



Glad to hear it. I feel the library could be improved, and if your server runs on something other than Node.js, you'll have to put together some straightforward crypto code, so feel free to file an issue on the repo[1] if you have any questions or requests. The point of it is not at all to compete with Google, but it could serve as a reasonable stopgap that's easy to implement (no new endpoints, no roundtrips) and should protect against all of today's cookie stealers, which would have to become a lot more sophisticated to beat it. I created a discussion on DBSC's spec repo yesterday that has a more direct comparison vs. Google's proposal[2] that you can check out.
