Abstract

A computer system that comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, and a system application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application receives a request to create a software container, creates the container, generates a signature of the container, creates a container security token that comprises the signature and embeds the container security token in the container, and returns the container with the embedded container security token. The application receives a request to launch an application in the container, determines a confirmation signature of the container provided by the application launch request, compares the confirmation signature to the signature of the container security token in the container, determines that the confirmation signature and the signature of the container security token in the software container match, and responsive to determining the signatures match launches the application in the software container provided by the application launch request.
