Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe security context enforcement in a multi-tenant environment. Security context data may be transmitted through an un-secure multi-tenant computational environment. The security context data is secured by protection layers that restrict untrusted resources from running tenant applications and restrict the ability of unauthorized tenants to access context information associated with a tenant. Data may be received and evaluated at a component of a multi-tenant environment. If the component is a trusted component and the security context data indicates that the tenant is authorized to execute an application using a specified context, the component may run a tenant application in a context associated with the security context data.
