Abstract
Methods and registrar computers for determining the integrity of a data feed provided by a virtual device. In an example, the method includes maintaining a control directory of virtual devices registered with the registrar computer and a data feed directory comprising entries indicating data feeds available from the registered virtual devices. Each data feed in the data feed directory is assigned an integrity indicator based on the provenance of the data feed.
Claims12
A registrar computer configured to negotiate communications between at least one virtual device and at least one virtual requestor device, the registrar computer comprising:
- a first application interface configured to communicate with the at least one virtual device and the at least one virtual requestor device to maintain a control directory of virtual devices and virtual requestor devices and to maintain a data feed directory comprising entries indicating data feeds available to the at least one virtual requestor device from the at least one virtual device;
- and
- an integrity engine configured to assign an integrity indicator to each data feed in the data directory based on a provenance of the data feed.
