Abstract

A virtualized service system and method are provided herein.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of virtualizing data services in a networked environment, the method comprising:

obtaining a service request from a local device;

determining that a desired data service unavailable at a local device;

querying a trusted allocation device for a location and credentials of a remote device where said desired data service is available;

introducing said local device to said remote device by providing said credentials for said local device to said remote device;

securely requesting said desired data service of said remote device; and

securely obtaining the results of said data service from said remote device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising verifying said local device.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising verifying said remote device.
