Abstract
A system and method for securing application programming interface (API) requests using multi-party digital signatures. The method includes generating, by a first system, at least one first secret share of a plurality of secret shares based on an API secret, wherein the plurality of secret shares includes the at least one first secret share and at least one second secret share, wherein the at least one second secret share is generated by at least one second system; and signing, by the first system, an API request using the at least one first secret share, wherein the API request is further signed by the at least one second system using the at least one second secret share, wherein the API request is signed without revealing any of the at least one first secret share to the at least one second system and without revealing any of the at least one second secret share to the first system.
