Web Packaging for Chrome

Paul Krill reports that Google's Chrome browser team is developing a technology called "Web Packaging ". According to Krill, this allows the publisher to "sign a single HTTP exchange so the signed exchange can be served from any caching server. When the browser loads the signed exchange, the publisher’s URL could be shown in the address bar because the signature in the exchange is proof that the content came from the publisher’s origin." This will enhance the speed and security of transmission of information to Chrome browsers. The earliest that this will be available is in Chrome version 71.
