Link?
instead of "whitelist" and "blacklist" I would like to propose the terms:
"allowlist" and "rejectlist"
shitlist and shortlist.
Santa's naughtylist and nicelist.
hotlist and notlist.
Shall I continue?
instead of (for example on disk drives) "master" and "slave" I like to propose
the terms:
"lead" and "lag" which are e.g. used when electrically managing two pumps
working on the same hydraulic circuit.
What do you think?
I will reserve judgement on the merits of your proposal until I have
read the piece of G Wolf's to which you have yet to provide the link.

your concern: your keys, preferably issued by your org's CA (instead
of being generated by you) should be short-lived, oftentimes for the
duration of your "work shift". The tools listed above support this.
