METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENABLING THE FEDERATION OF UNRELATED APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method of enabling the federation of unrelated applications is described herein. The method can include the step of installing a candidate application for inclusion in a secure workspace. A first previously-installed application may have a certificate signed by a first entity, and a second previously-installed application may have a certificate signed by a second entity such that the first and second previously-installed applications have different certificates. The method can also include the steps of generating a federation value for the candidate application for inclusion in the secure workspace and determining the result of a federation check of the candidate application based on the generated federation value. If the federation check for the candidate application is satisfied, the candidate application may be permitted to be part of the secure workspace.
