iat

Issued at: The timestamp when the token was created, specified as seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. The server may report an error if this timestamp is too far in the past or future (allowing 10 minutes for skew).

MQTT, HTTP

exp

Expiration: The timestamp when the token stops being valid, specified as seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. The token’s maximum lifetime is 24 hours + skew.

• The server will close all MQTT connections a few seconds after the token expires (allowing for skew) because MQTT cannot refresh credentials. A new token must be minted to reconnect. Because of the allowed skew, in practice, the token’s minimum lifetime will be equal to the acceptable clock skew, even if set to one second.

• When connecting over HTTP, each HTTP request must include a JWT, regardless of expiration time.

• Clients in Network Time Protocol (NTP)-capable devices can use the Google Public NTP Server to keep the device clock synchronized; the authentication requirement for authentication is to keep the clock synchronized with a skew of an up to 10 minutes-minute skew.
