> The Authentication API prevented the use of alg: none with a case sensitive filter. This means that simply capitalising any letter e.g. alg: nonE, allowed tokens to be forged.<p>The option to have 'alg: none' should never be used as it is still the biggest footgun in the JOSE specification. I'm not sure why on earth you need a case-sensitive filter on this, but even giving the user a choice of ciphers to use is a recipe for disaster. Thus JWT is still a cryptographically weak standard.<p>PASETO [0] or Branca [1] are cryptographically stronger alternatives to use over JWT here.<p>[0] <a href="https://paseto.io" rel="nofollow">https://paseto.io</a>
