Re: [OAUTH-WG] Refresh token security considerations

I agree that this is something you could do, but it doesn't seem like a good design pattern.

Subject: Re: [OAUTH-WG] Refresh token security considerations

replacement of the refresh token with every access token refresh is an example. The authz server creates and returns a new refresh token value with every access token refreshment. The old value is invalidated and must not be used any further. Note: The authz server keeps track of all old (invalidated) refresh tokens.

If a client presents one of those old refresh tokens, the legitimate client has been compromised most likely. The authz then revokes the refresh token and the associated access authorization.

Torsten.
