A payload assurance system and method for a payload having a header which is to be transferred across a network boundary via at least one predetermined boundary control device. The system comprises at least one computer processor and at least one data storage device, arranged to provide an electronic authorisation token for authorising properties of the payload to be transferred, which electronic authorisation token comprsises at least one entropy element for ensuring that multiple electronic authorisation tokens authorising the same payload properties are unique. A boundary transfer assessment step may be provided at the network boundary, for indirectly determining whether the payload possesses the Authorisation token, using the payload header.
A payload assurance system for a payload X having a header H which is to be transferred across a network boundary via at least one predetermined Boundary Control Device, the system comprising at least one computer processor and at least one data storage device, the at least one data storage device comprising instructions operative by the at least one computer processor to provide an electronic authorisation token for authorising properties of the payload to be transferred, the electronic authorisation token comprising at least one entropy element for ensuring that multiple electronic authorisation tokens authorising the same payload properties are unique.
A method of assuring a payload for transfer across a network boundary via a Boundary Control Device using a system comprising at least one computer processor and at least one data storage device, the at least one data storage device comprising instructions operative by the at least one processor, the method comprising providing an electronic authorisation token configured to authorise the payload to be transferred, the electronic authorisation token comprising at least one element relating to properties of the payload and at least one entropy element for ensuring that multiple electronic authorisation tokens authorising the same payload properties are unique.
