Abstract
A method begins by a processing module determining whether a data access request is requesting access to data stored in a plurality of dispersed storage networks (DSNs). The method continues with the processing module determining whether one of the plurality of DSNs is a home DSN to a requesting entity when the data access request is requesting access to data stored in the plurality of DSNs. The method continues with the processing module utilizing a local signed certificate to access one or more dispersed storage (DS) units of the home DSN, validating a global signed certificate with one or more DS units of a non-home DSN of the plurality of DSNs to produce a valid global signed certificate, and utilizing the valid signed certificate to access the one or more DS units of the non-home DSN when the plurality of DSNs includes the home DSN.
