A computer system executing instructions in a computer program, the computer program instructions comprising program code for performing the operations establishing trust between applications on a computing device, the system comprising:

at least one computer processor;
and
a memory operatively coupled with the at least one computer processor, the at least one computer processor executing program code from the memory including:
program code for providing software applications on a computing device, the applications each having original, post-compile object code;
program code for modifying, using at least one processor operatively coupled with a memory, the original object code of each application to create replacement object code for each application, the replacement object code configured to access a shared secret between the applications, thereby establishing a trust relationship between the applications.
