Abstract
Techniques are provided for multi-cloud authentication of data requests. One method comprises obtaining, by a first authentication entity of a first cloud environment, from a service on the first cloud environment, a request for data stored by a second cloud environment; determining a signature for the service; verifying the determined signature for the service by requesting a signature for the service registered with a second authentication entity of the second cloud environment; requesting the data from the second authentication entity of the second cloud environment in response to the determined signature being verified; and providing the requested data to the service. The requested data from the second cloud environment may be encrypted with an encryption key, and the method may further comprise decrypting the requested data with a decryption key obtained from the second cloud environment. The signature for the service may be registered as part of a deployment of the service.
