Answer
Short expiration limits the window for token misuse.
Setting a short expiration time for JWTs minimizes the impact if a token is compromised, as it limits the time an attacker can use it. In a Java application, you can set the `exp` claim in your JWTs to ensure they are valid only for a short period, requiring regular renewal.
