Abstract
Described herein are various aspects pertaining to generating web tickets for use with authenticating computing devices to a computing system. Symmetric keys are used when generating the web tickets, wherein a symmetric key is valid for use when generating web tickets for a first period of time, and a web ticket generated based upon the symmetric key is valid for use when authenticating a computing device for a second period of time that is longer than the first period of time. Thus, the symmetric key is used for authenticating computing devices after it has ceased being used to generate web tickets.
