A method of and apparatus for transmitting data in systems such as computer networks, for example in client-server or peer-to-peer arrangements. Access to transmitted data received by a destination apparatus is limited by the provision of software code at the destination apparatus. The software code is arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus, and this result is used to access the data. The software code may be either transmitted to the destination apparatus, for example along with the data it is used to access or from a separate server, or may be generated at the destination apparatus. The method and apparatus is particularly applicable in the field of on-line gaming, wherein the transmitted data is encrypted gaming data and the result of the software code provides the access key to the encrypted data.
A method of transmitting data from a source apparatus to a destination apparatus, wherein software code is additionally provided at the destination apparatus, the software code being arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus and which result is used to access data sent to the destination apparatus.
A computer network comprising a first computer a second computer and a data path to enable data to be sent from the first computer to the second computer, wherein software code is provided at the second computer, the software code being arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the second computer and which result is used to access data sent to the second computer.
A software product suitable for being transmitted to a remote apparatus whereby the execution of the software product at the remote apparatus provides a result which is a function of the state of the remote apparatus and which, if the result is satisfactory, enables access to data by the remote apparatus.
A software product suitable for being generated at a remote apparatus whereby the execution of the software product at the remote apparatus provides a result which is a function of the state of the remote apparatus and which, if the result is satisfactory, enables access to data by the remote apparatus.
A method carried out at a destination apparatus, the destination apparatus being provided with software code which is arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus;
A destination apparatus arranged to receive data transmitted from a source apparatus, said destination apparatus being provided with software code which is arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus, and which result is used to access data received at the destination apparatus.
A system comprising source and destination apparatuses and a data path to enable data to be sent from the source apparatus to the destination apparatus, wherein software code is provided at the destination apparatus, the software code being arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus and which result is used to access data sent to the destination apparatus.
