Versioned Protocol Security Tokens: VPST

Novice-Proof Security Tokens: NPST

Just Verify Valid Tokens: JVVT

Safer Security Tokens: SST

Note: the first one is my only real suggestion, the rest are just for fun. And you are right, it is surprisingly difficult to come up with a good name.

Refer to it with a version number: PAST2, PAST3, etc..

You could also drop the use mapping: change 'sign' to 'public-auth' and explain that it's a 'sign' operation (a.k.a. digital signatures)

my favourite is PAST4 tee-hee

PINJWT - "PAST is not a JWT". // Please, do not take it seriously.

Edit: Good job on PAST and your other projects. I often follow your GitHub activity and publications to check on what interesting you are working currently.

Maybe just change "agnostic" to "neutral": PNST? "Independent" is probably better, but PIST may not be so great a choice (:

VJWT: Versioned JWT
