Abstract: Trust of a secure workspace that has multiple layers with distributed ownership can be verified. A management service can maintain a repository of layers for secure workspaces and a certificate vault storing certificates of the owners of the layers. The management service can also maintain workspace metadata defining secure workspaces that pertain to a particular user and the layers that form the secure workspaces. When a secure workspace is to be deployed on a user computing device, the management service can send the layers that form the secure workspace and the workspace metadata for the secure workspace to a host agent on the user computing device. The host agent can then leverage the certificates of the owners of the layers to verify the trust of each layer and, if trust is verified for all layers that form the secure workspace, can deploy the secure workspace on the user computing device.
