Short-Lived Credentials

Credentials issued with a limited validity period, after which they should no longer authorize new requests. Their short lifetime reduces the exposure window but does not limit what they can do while valid. Scope, renewal permissions, theft response and implementation-specific expiry behavior remain important.

Also called: Temporary Credentials
