Abstract
A technique performs authentication with an external device. The technique involves receiving, by electronic circuitry, a messaging command. The technique further involves providing, by the electronic circuitry, a message to the external device in response to the messaging command. The message includes message fields which store message operating parameters e.g., Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) header fields containing HTTP operating parameters to form part of an HTTP transaction. The message fields of the message are arranged in a particular order to match an expected order during an order comparison operation performed by the external device to gauge authenticity of the message source. If the particular order matches the expected order, there is lower risk that the message source is fraudulent. However, if the particular order does not match the expected order, there is higher risk that the message source is fraudulent.
