Google Chrome Introduces App-Bound Encryption for Enhanced Security on Windows

New update aims to protect session cookies from malware by linking encryption to specific applications, similar to macOS Keychain.

Chrome 127 now includes app-bound encryption to safeguard session cookies on Windows.
The encryption ties data to the app's identity, preventing unauthorized access by other apps.
Future updates will extend this protection to passwords, payment data, and authentication tokens.
This measure is expected to improve malware detection by antivirus software.
Google's approach mimics macOS security features, enhancing data protection for Windows users.
