TIMESTAMP-BASED TOKEN REVOCATION
First Claim
1. At a target device, a method of handling a request to interact with the target device, the method including:
- receiving the request;
in conjunction with the receiving, receiving a token issue timestamp; and
in response to determining that the token issue timestamp precedes a revocation timestamp, denying the request.

Abstract
A token used when a first device authenticates itself to a third device may be associated with a token issue timestamp. Upon receipt of an indication that all previously issued tokens are to be revoked, a second device may store a revocation timestamp. Upon receiving, from the second device, a request for establishing conditions for a file transfer, from the first device, and an indication of a token issue timestamp associated with the request, the second device may compare the token issue timestamp to the revocation timestamp. Responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the token issue timestamp precedes the revocation timestamp, the second device may deny the request.
