# hawk

#### HTTP Holder-Of-Key Authentication Scheme.

Documentation of the protocol, and the JS API, is in https://github.com/mozilla/hawk/blob/main/API.md.

## Ownership Changes

This was once `hueniverse/hawk` and relased as `hawk`.
Then, after the 7.0.10 release, it was moved to the `hapijs/hawk` repository and released as `@hapi/hawk`.
Hapi later de-supported the library, after releasing version 8.0.0.
It has since been moved to `mozilla/hawk` and is again released as `hawk`.
All of the intermediate versions are also released as `hawk`.

Changes are represented in GitHub releases on this repository.

Mozilla maintains several Hawk implementations in different languages, so it is likely to stay at Mozilla for some time.
