Paseto Rust

Paseto is everything you love about JOSE (JWT, JWE, JWS) without any of the many design deficits that plague the JOSE standards. This is directly adapted from the reference implemenation made by paragon-ie, which can be found: HERE.

NOTE: The license of the original paseto implementation is ISC which is functionally equivelant to MIT, but located: HERE
