A lot has changed since v0.2.0! PAST is now a lot faster, simpler, and has a greater degree of misuse resistance.

  • seal has been removed.
  • auth has been removed.
  • enc has been renamed to local.
  • sign has been renamed to public.
  • We now use unpadded base64url encoding.
  • For encryption, nonces are now derived from the plaintext in addition to the OS CSPRNG, using HMAC-SHA384 (version 1) or keyed BLAKE2b (version 2). This should mitigate the risk of nonce reuse on systems or programming languages with insecure RNGs.
  • More unit tests.
  • More documentation. It should now be straightforward to implement PAST in other languages.
