Abstract
Trust relationships in an online service system are established at a domain level, and propagated to components of domains as they attempt cross domain communication. In attempting to communicate across domains, a first component in a first domain attempts to validate a certificate of a second component in a second domain. Where the attempt to validate the certificate indicates that a trust relationship does not exist between the first component and the second domain, the first component determines whether a domain level trust relationship exists between the two domains. The first component propagates the trust status between the first and second domains to itself. If there is an existing trust relationship between the first and second domains, the first component validates the certificate of the second component in response. The second component executes the same process to complete the connection.
