Why each option

Response-wrapping tokens are designed for single use to securely transfer secrets, and expire immediately after their first successful use, regardless of their initial TTL.

ATrue

Response-wrapping tokens cannot be used more than once; they are single-use and expire upon retrieval of the wrapped secret.

BFalseCorrect

Response-wrapping tokens are designed to be single-use. Once a response-wrapping token is used to unwrap a secret, it is immediately invalidated, even if its time-to-live (TTL) has not yet expired. This mechanism ensures that the secret payload can only be retrieved once, enhancing security.
