Introducing Client-Request Token Binding Type

In today's dynamic landscape, where users access applications from multiple devices and application instances, ensuring the security and integrity of user sessions poses a significant challenge.

Recognizing this challenge, Asgardeo has developed Client-Request Token Binding, a sophisticated solution that empowers developers to explicitly associate user sessions with specific devices or client instances. This feature offers flexibility and security, addressing a critical need in the realm of identity and access management.
