What is meant by Token Management?

"Token Management" refers to the management and provisioning of tokens, which are typically used for authentication, authorization, or accessing specific resources. These tokens can take various forms, such as access tokens, refresh tokens, or ID tokens, and are commonly used in authentication protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

  1. Token Creation: The software enables the creation of different types of tokens based on specific requirements and security policies.

  2. Token Management: The software manages the lifecycle of tokens, including their issuance, refresh, and expiration.

  3. Token Storage: The software securely stores and encrypts the created tokens to ensure their integrity and confidentiality.

  4. Token Validation: The software validates incoming tokens to ensure they are genuine and unaltered before using them to access protected resources.

  5. Token Revocation: The software allows for revoking tokens if they are compromised or no longer needed to enhance security.

  6. Token Issuance: The software provides tokens to authorized users or applications based on their requests and defined access policies.
