Token Revocation
Token revocation is the invalidation of a token before its normal expiration time.
Definition
Token revocation is the ability to terminate the validity of an access artifact before its scheduled expiry. It reduces the risk associated with compromised or no-longer-legitimate access and supports stronger control over dynamic authorization situations.
The Ariovis perspective
Tokens are part of an access architecture, not a substitute for identity governance or authorization. Their scope, lifetime, validation and revocation must match the risk of the API and user journey.
