Abstract
A credential management system with time-based credential validity period reduction is disclosed. The credential management system, responsive to determining to renew a current version of a time-based security credential, determines a validity time period length for a renewal version of the time-based security credential based on (1) a validity time period length for the current version of the time-based security credential and/or (2) renewal completion metrics for the respective credential holder. The credential management system obtains, from a credential authority, a renewed version of the time-based security credential having the determined validity time period length, and returns the renewed version to the credential holder. Receipt of the renewed version initiates performance of a deployment of the renewed credential at the respective credential holder to update use of the current version of the time-based security credential. Completion metrics are transmitted to the credential management system, for determining a next validity time.
