An identity service in a cloud environment is communicatively coupled to a proxy key vault in the cloud environment and to an external key manager (EKM) located outside of the cloud environment. The identity service receives a token request for a communication credential from the proxy key vault and verifies the request based on a client credential associated with the proxy key vault. The identity service generates the client credential and signs the communication credential with a private key associated with the EKM. The identify service transmits the signed communication credential to the proxy key vault. The communication credential can be used to substantiate cryptographic operation requests to the EKM.
