Trusted Session
This blueprint is to track the tasks for supporting "trusted sessions" within Unity8. In short this is the association of applications which have "trust" capabilities and their ability to invoke one another to share data. A common example used for explanation is from within the Gallery app to launch a trust session with Facebook to share a picture.

| Bug #1317627: Content hub experience needs to be implemented using trusted sessions | Triaged |
Sprints
Whiteboard
as of May2
There's been loads of discussion around Trust Session & what that means in terms of application id, process id, and Mir session id. This text is meant to capture the current understanding.
- Trust Session tracking will utilize Mir session id's as a means to track (at least for phase1, in the future this may shift to "surface groups")
- Trust Session of unity-mir is "invoked" via the callbacks of trustedsessionl
(trustedSessionXXXX which are Starting, Stopping, Beginning, Ending) as called by the trusted helpers (such as content hub)
- Content-hub data sharing is already in place and work, just not within the trusted-session context
