GlossaryDEFINED TERM / DEVICE-BOUND-SESSION

Device-bound session

A session whose use is additionally bound to cryptographic material held by a specific device.

Working definition

A stolen session token should not be sufficient to take over a session on another device. Device binding requires an additional proof linked to the enrolled device.

This reduces token-theft risk but does not replace short lifetimes, rotation, revocation or secure key storage. Device changes and recovery need deliberately designed transitions.

Three verification questions

  1. 01What proof of possession binds the session?
  2. 02How is one lost device revoked?
  3. 03What happens during recovery or device replacement?
