Use Refresh token rotation to make Jwt token more secure

Current Situation: An access token allows temporary access to restricted resources, PEM APIs, and so has a short validity period of 5 minutes (configurable through system properties). A refresh token has a longer validity as it allows users to log in and stay connected without providing their passwords for longer periods. Note that refresh token generation requires a user to provide their username and password. Shortening its lifespan will result in users having to reauthenticate themselves every few minutes (depending on the refresh token validity).


Suggested Situation: Make use of Refresh Token Rotation so every time the user authenticates, the app will generate new access and refresh tokens and return to the browser. The app should also persist the new refresh token to the database.

Whenever the browser requests then backend with the refresh token to get a new access token, the app generates a new refresh token and save it to a database. Next, the app will invalidate the refresh token that was just used.


This will avoid session hjjacking as also the tokens are showed in the URL with a GET request .

How will this idea be used?

As Security Solution Architecture I need the tokens created by the applications and services hardened to avoid security issues.
