Token Binding Protocol is a new authentication mechanism, currently a draft and implemented in Chrome and Windows 10 (I think this means Edge, but I'm not sure).

Sjord added a commit to Sjord/caniuse that referenced this issue May 11, 2017
Token binding is a feature to assign a unique ID to a TLS connection. Using a public-private keypair the client proves that only he is the owner of that unique ID. By binding cookies to this unique ID, session hijacking becomes impossible.

Currently only Chrome supports this behind a flag, as far as I know.

This can be tested using the URL https://unbearable-bc.ping-eng.com:3000/open/headers. If that shows the Sec-Token-Binding header, the feature is supported.
