Abstract
Techniques for using short-term credentials using asymmetric session keys are described herein. A request for a short-term credential is received that is digitally signed with a different credential. In response to the request, short-term credential data is generated and populated with a public session key corresponding to a private session key. The short-term credential data is then encrypted with a session encryption key to produce the short-term credential token, which can then be used by the requester as a short-term credential for subsequent requests.
