I'm really confused by this post, a signed JWT is issued by the identity provider (or API end point) and is then validated again by the API end point when part

  > The approach I use is to have a 'use once' refresh token (long timeout) and a security token (short time out) and JTIs to hold a list of logged out/invalid (refresh token used twice) security token IDs. Here's what I've never understood about this approach: the browser can send many requests at the same time, over the same (HTTP/2) or different (HTTP/1.1) connections. If, say, six requests hit your backend at the same time, all with the same refresh and security tokens, with four more queued up on the user-agent, and the security token is expired, how do you know: 1. that all ten requests are valid, 2. to revoke the security token once, 3. to generate one new security token, 4. to mark the refresh token as used, 5. to generate one new refresh token? Is it as simple as granting some leeway on how long the tokens can be used after they expire/are revoked? Do you have some way of serializing requests on the client to prevent this from happening? Or do you assign all ten requests the same "batch" ID and tie them together on the backend somehow? Do you do a preflight request to refresh the security token if it's expired?
