Abstract
Aspects of secure inter-application data communications are described. In one example, a first application executing on a computing device obtains an identity certificate. The identity certificate can include a unique identifier of the computing device and a public key of the first application. To obtain the public keys of other applications executing on the computing device, the first application can query a management computing environment using the identity certificate. Once the computing device is authenticated by the management computing environment, the management computing environment can store the public key of the first application and return any public keys of other applications executing on the computing device. Once the public keys have been exchanged between the applications, the applications can encrypt and sign data packages for secure data communications between each other.
