1. A method to employ compound certification for assurance, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at an intermediary certification service executed by one or more computing devices, a redirected request for certification from a service application;

    requesting certificates associated with the service application and service elements of the service application from a certification authority executed by one or more other computing devices;

    receiving the certificates;

    composing a compound certificate based on a logic combination of certified properties associated with each of the service elements from the received certificates, wherein the compound certificate suppresses identities of the service elements and indicates a lowest common compliance level in the compound certificate in response to a determination that compliance levels of two or more service elements as defined by their respective certificates differ; and
