Abstract
A method of providing a secure service at a computing node is described. The secure service is for a requesting party external to the computing node. The following steps take place at the computing node. A service request is received from the requesting party. This service request comprises a request to generate a credential. The credential is then generated, and service-related information is obtained. The credential and the service-related information are encrypted using an encryption process to form an encrypted message part. A service-identifying clear message part is also created, and a message is sent comprising the clear message part and the encrypted message part to the requesting party. Methods of using such a message to validate the credential, and of using such a message to confirm the integrity of service-related information held in the message, are also described, as is computing apparatus adapted to carry out one or more of these methods.
