From b6ebca708d4ba172d8be67c2848133657f0cbd5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thibault Meunier Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 14:03:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add notice for end of support Privacy Pass has changed since the original PoPETS version. Moreover, CAPTCHA providers have moved from that version to follow IETF version more closely. They don't operate with a stored token model, but with an interactive token issuance and redemption, with a split attester/issuer model. This commit updates the README to highlight the end of active token issuer/redeemer for this specific version of the protocol. --- README.md | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 45db88b..ae94457 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +# Deprecated + +#### This version of Privacy Pass extension is not currently under active development.
