Abstract
A processing device comprises a processor coupled to a memory and is configured to obtain a credential associated with a particular access control interval, to determine an application programming interface (API) key based at least in part on the credential, and to utilize the API key in an API key enrollment protocol. The obtaining, determining and utilizing are repeated for one or more additional instances of the API key enrollment protocol corresponding to respective ones of one or more additional access control intervals. The processing device illustratively comprises a service requester device configured to carry out at least a portion of a given instance of the API key enrollment protocol with a service provider device. The API key may comprise, for example, the credential itself, or a function of the credential and other information. The credential may comprise, again by way of example, an intermediate value of a hash chain.
