Javascript Object Signing and Encryption is a Bad Standard (2017)
Dynamic languages with no compile time checking of fields, assertions, etc. seem inherently very dangerous to me for anything security critical or cryptographic.<p>Sure you can write secure and correct code in them, but what happens years later when others (including yourself after you've forgotten what you wrote!) have come and made various edits, changes, refactors, etc.<p>This is generally where dynamic languages crash and burn, but it's particularly dangerous with stuff like authentication where a bug can be disastrous.
