I know browsers have implemented the SameSite attribute, but the only IETF document that defines it is draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-02, which is expired. RFC6265 does not include the SameSite attribute. Do browsers choose to implement draft specs on their own?

  • It's been always the case - such minor security controls are frequently proposed and then implemented based on industry consensus, and after they're verified in the field, a RFC is created to standardize them retroactively. Pawel Krawczyk (talk) 10:42, 5 May 2018 (CDT)
