A root silo that authorizes one or more clients to access one or more
services at one or more servicing silos receives a request from a client
for interaction with a service. The root silo identifies a servicing silo
as an available provider of the service for interacting with the client
and generates a servicing certificate that contains (i) service
entitlement information showing that the client is entitled to interact
with the service at the servicing silo, (ii) location information
identifying a location of the servicing silo, and (iii) one or more keys
for use in secure communication between the client and the servicing
silo. Having generated the servicing certificate, the root silo sends the
servicing certificate to the client for the client to use when
interacting with the service at the servicing silo.
