Key Rotation
An information security practice involving the periodic replacement of system access credentials, such as passwords and API keys. Regular rotation reduces the security risk associated with long-term exposure of a single credential, limiting the window of opportunity for unauthorized use if a credential is compromised.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Revoking invalidates an old key immediately, while rotating generates a new key and replaces it across all callers; these are two different actions.
Key rotation refers to periodically replacing access credentials to reduce the risk of long-term credential exposure, and tools such as AWS IAM and HashiCorp Vault have standardized this practice.
Cloud service providers such as AWS recommend that API keys be rotated no less frequently than every 90 days.
