Abstract
A method for ensuring the integrity of a receiving system in a distributed computing environment includes receiving information from a transmitting system. The method also includes testing whether the information is preverified information. If the information is not preverified, the method includes verifying the information or rejecting receipt of the information. If the information is preverified, the method includes testing if the information was received from a trusted transmitting system. If the information was received from a trusted transmitting system, the method includes accepting receipt of the information without reverifying. If the information was not received from a trusted transmitting system, the method includes verifying the information or rejecting receipt of the information.
