Abstract
A system intercepts, at an application programming interface (API) gateway, a request for access to a computing resource and obfuscates metadata associated with the request. The metadata is obfuscated by at least encrypting the metadata to generate encrypted metadata. The API gateway further generates a second request to include the encrypted metadata. The second request is then used to access the computing resource in response to the first request such that when the computing resource is accessed, the metadata associated with the computing resource is encrypted.
