  • compandauth

    Lightweight distributed session management primitives inspired by compare-and-swap (CAS)

  • AD: If anyone is looking for a lightweight JWT session management system: https://github.com/endiangroup/compandauth -- this over comes the typical "you can't manage JWT's centrally". I've verified the algorithm with TLA+ too, currently theres an implementation in Go but it can ported easily.

  • frank_jwt

    JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

  • https://jwt.io/ is also a great resource for analyzing JWTs interactively (with the usual caveats about pasting sensitive information into a random text box).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • paseto

    Platform-Agnostic Security Tokens

  • FYI, `https://paseto.io/` indicates it is standardized and there are a lot of open source implementations in various languages.
