  • Patent number: 12355843
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for protecting API KEYs for accessing services in a cloud environment are disclosed. A first request for generating a virtual key for a user in an organization to access a service in a cloud environment is received. The first request includes information of the organization, an identity of the user, and information of the service. A first authentication request is sent to an identity provider of the organization based on the information of the organization and the identity of the user. In response to the first authentication being successful, an API key for the organization to access the service is determined. The virtual key for the user to access the service is generated based on the API key, the information of the organization, and the identity of the user. The virtual key is returned as a response of the first request.
