Patent number: 11943221Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods configured to prevent masquerading service attacks. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes sending, from a first server in a cloud environment, a communication request comprising an application programming interface (API) key and a first server identifier to an identity and access management (IAM) server of the cloud environment. The API key can be uniquely assigned by the IAM server to a first component of the first server. The first server receives a credential that includes a token for the first component and sends the credential to a second server. The second server sends the credential, a second server identifier, and an identifier for a second component of the second server to the IAM server. The second server receives an acknowledgment from the IAM server and sends the acknowledgment to the first server.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sen Wang, Mei Liu, Si Bo Niu, Wen Yi Gao, Zong Xiong Z X Wang, Guoxiang Zhang, Xiao Yi Tian, Xian Wei Zhang
