Show HN: Ephemeral Auth – Authentication without tokens using vanishing proofs
I built a React authentication library that eliminates tokens entirely. Instead of hackable JWT tokens that last for hours, it uses ephemeral cryptographic proofs that vanish after each request.
*The Problem:* Token theft gives attackers hours of access
*The Solution:* Single-use sessions that self-destruct after one action
\it is on npm on these link https://www.npmjs.com/package/ephemeral-auth-react
*npm:* poof-auth-react
*How it works:*
1. Request ephemeral challenge (one-time math problem)
2. Solve challenge → get ephemeral session
3. Session vanishes after use - hackers get nothing!
*Features:*
- No tokens to steal or manage
- Quantum-resistant cryptography
- Simple React API
- TypeScript support
Perfect timing given recent token breaches and supply chain attacks. Would love feedback from the HN community!
