Abstract: An interface, through which functionality of a cloud computing infrastructure can be accessed, can create defined endpoints through which such an interface is accessed, with such defined endpoints limiting the functionality accessible through the interface to only allowed functions. An elevate function can, through a secure key exchange protocol, receive appropriate assurances and can, in response, remove the functionality limitations of the endpoint, thereby enabling unfettered access to the cloud computing infrastructure. Such unrestricted access can be limited in duration, which duration can be established in advance, or agreed-upon through the key exchange mechanism.
