Cloudflare is working with the makers of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on a new way for websites to tell whether incoming traffic is legitimate – without resorting to the usual mix of CAPTCHAs, logins, and extra tracking.

The system is called Private Access Control Tokens, or PACT, and it arrives at a time when bots have surpassed human traffic online.

I assume it would be something like a key that gets used to generate disposable signatures, not transmitted directly. But I've also been unable to find actual technical details, the article mentions a "GitHub proposal" without linking to it but i couldn't find anything in their repos. Their blog has nothing either
