A method is provided for maintaining profiles in a device store. The method comprises: setting a profile type; selecting profile parameters such as destinations and processes; adding the profile to a device store; and, in response to creating the profile, limiting the lifetime of the profile in the device store. Time aging profiles, single-use profiles, renewable profiles, and permanent profiles can be selected. When a time aging profile is chosen, a time-to-live (TTL) variable, referenced to the creation of the profile, is also selected. Then, the profile is purged from the store when the TTL variable expires. When a single-use profile is chosen, the profile is purged from the store after the profile is used a first time. When a renewable profile is chosen, a TTL variable is selected that is reset in response to using the profile. The profile is purged from the store if the TTL variable expires.
