Methods, systems, and computer program products for executing trusted software components in public computing clouds. Verifiably authentic software components are installed into a tenant partition of a multi-tenant public cloud-based environment. To do so, a software component installer is configured to install registered software components into the tenant partition. Installer processing includes (1) obtaining a component-specific token for a software component wherein the component-specific token is specific to both the software component to be installed and a particular tenant, and (2) installing the software component on behalf of the given tenant in the multi-tenant public cloud-based environment. Prior to executing the underlying code of the tenant-specific software component, the software component is authenticated with a component registry using the component-specific token. Additional trusted components are installed based on demand from within the tenant partition. No user or administrator intervention is needed and no credentials are hard-coded into the software components.
