Google bakes new cookie strategy that will leave crooks with a bad taste

Cookies are still widely used by websites, which get the browser to save information on a session locally to a small file stored on the computer to keep users signed in and store their site preferences. Now Google says it is working on a new web capability it dubs Device Bound Session Credentials to combat this threat. The idea behind this is to use a cryptographic key to tie a session to the user's specific computer or device.

According to Google, privacy is protected because each session is backed by a unique key and DBSC does not enable sites to correlate keys from different sessions open on the same device. The only information sent to the server is the per-session public key which the server uses to certify proof of key possession.Google's AI-powered search results are loaded with spammy, scammy garbage

"We may consider supporting software keys for all users regardless of hardware capabilities. This would ensure that DBSC will not let servers differentiate between users based on hardware features or device state," Monsen said.
