1. A highly secure method for accessing a distributed storage network (DSN), the method comprises: sending, by a requesting entity, a certificate signing request to a certificate authority, wherein the certificate signing request includes one or more of a requesting entity identifier (ID), a public key of a public-private key pair associated with the requesting entity, a password, a shared secret, a signature generated by the requesting entity, and authorization information; generating, by the certificate authority, a signature over the certificate signing request to produce a signed certificate utilizing a private key of a public-private key pair of the certificate authority, wherein the certificate authority sends the signed certificate to the requesting entity; sending, by a requesting entity, a DSN access request to a request verification entity, which is located within first distributed storage (DS) unit at a first physical location that is separately located from a location of the requesting entity within the DSN, wherein the DSN access request includes the signed certificate, which indicates that the requesting entity is an authorized affiliate of the DSN, and DSN accessing information regarding how the requesting entity would like to access one or more of devices, units, and modules of the DSN regarding one or more types of requests; sending, by the request verification entity, a signed DSN access request to the requesting entity when the request verification entity signs the DSN access request after verifying the signed certificate and the DSN accessing information, wherein the signed DSN access request includes a signature of the request verification entity, the signed certificate, and the DSN accessing information; sending, by the requesting entity, the signed DSN access request to a DSN accessing entity that is located within second DS unit at a second physical location that is separately located from the first physical location and also from the location of the requesting entity; and sending, by the DSN accessing entity, an authorized DSN access request to the DSN via a network connection when the DSN accessing entity verifies the signature of the request verification entity, wherein the authorized DSN access request includes, at a minimum, the DSN accessing information; and wherein the DSN accessing information includes data access timing information.
