TokenRotationsschema
TokenRotationsschema is a design pattern and formal approach for managing the lifecycle of cryptographic or authentication tokens by rotating them according to a predefined schedule or trigger. The schema aims to limit the impact of token compromise by ensuring that each token has a limited validity window and by binding tokens to evolving cryptographic material or identifiers.
Core elements include a rotation policy (cadence, triggers, and duration), a token derivation or generation function,
Security considerations include synchronized clocks, secure storage of rotation keys, and robust revocation. The approach reduces
Use cases include API gateways, single sign-on systems, and mobile or IoT services requiring short-lived tokens
