Remote revocation helps with lost devices and suspicious activity. Its effect extends beyond a logout message.
Evaluation approach
Assess server sessions, refresh authority, device registrations, open connections and cached decisions together.
Application example
Removing a device in a web panel should stop new sensitive operations. Understand the remaining lifetime of existing access tokens.
Limits and considerations
Remote deletion of all local data is not guaranteed in every deployment model.
Measuring revocation delay
Record the interval between accepting the revocation command and enforcement across relevant endpoints. Include existing tokens and connections in acceptance tests.
Checks and decisions
- Define revocation scope
- Test subsequent requests
- Check open connections
