Just for the specific implementation. The reference implementation is the PHP version here: https://github.com/paragonie/paseto And has had a lot more attention.

On that note: https://github.com/paragonie/past/issues/13 I might be dropping "seal" entirely, as its utility isn't really a good fit for security tokens. (Sealing APIs can be very useful in other contexts, though.)
