Token Security Best Practices
When generating tokens for production use, follow these security best practices to ensure your applications remain secure.
JWT Token Security
- Use strong, randomly generated secret keys (minimum 256 bits)
- Set appropriate expiration times (exp claim)
- Validate tokens on every request
- Use HTTPS for token transmission
- Store tokens securely (avoid localStorage for sensitive data)
API Key Security
- Generate keys with sufficient entropy (minimum 128 bits)
- Use prefixes to identify key types
- Implement rate limiting and monitoring
- Rotate keys regularly
- Never expose keys in client-side code
