Standard JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are stateless bearer tokens that suffer from critical security flaws out-of-the-box: 1. Zero Privacy: JWT payloads are merely Base64URL-encoded. Anyone who intercepts the token (e.g., in transit, via logs, or browser extension) can read all user identifiers, email addresses, roles, and scopes in plain text. 2. Bearer Token Vulnerability: A standard JWT does not bind the session to a specific device. If a token is stolen via XSS, it can be replayed from any machine, anywhere in the world. 3. No Native Revocation: Since standard JWT verification is stateless, you cannot instantly terminate a user's session (e.g., on logout or when account security is compromised). The token remains fully valid until its hardcoded expiration time passes. Secure Web Token (SWT) is a modern, developer-friendly, and highly secure authentication library built for Node.js. It solves these design-level issues under the hood using: AES-256-GCM Encryption: Payloads are fully encrypted and signed, ensuring absolute confidentiality and tamper-proof integrity. Cryptographic DPoP (Proof-of-Possession) Binding: Tokens are bound to a non-exportable private key stored securely in the client's browser. Even if an attacker steals the token, it is completely useless without the matching private key.
