I somehow just learned about the IETF's "Privacy Pass" working group, along with Google and Apple's respective implementations ("Private State Tokens", "Private Access Tokens"), and I'm so damn tired of DRM being the answer to everything.

Mozilla wrote a blog post in December of 2023 about why they decided not to implement it:

...and the IETF has a page to track the working group's drafts:

datatracker.ietf.org/wg/privac…

#IETF #DRM #cryptography #privacy

The proposal suggests it could be based on hurl: hurl.dev/

On this day, 15 years ago the http-state working group was created in #IETF. daniel.haxx.se/blog/2009/01/09…

27 months later the cookie RFC 6265 was published: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2011/04/28…

This spec is now being revised. The latest draft is called -13 and lives here: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/…

Cookies: HTTP State Management Mechanism

This document defines the HTTP Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields. These header fields can be used by HTTP servers to store state (called cookies) at HTTP user agents, letting the servers maintain a stateful session over the mostly stateless HTTP pr…

Thank you to everyone has supported and contributed to this over the past almost nine years since the initial seeds were planted during discussions at a TLS 1.3 interim meeting.

SVCB has potential to have substantial impact across a wide range of Internet protocols. I'm thrilled to see how many drafts are already building on it.
