Abstract
The present invention provides a technique for securely identifying devices that can interact by wired or wireless communication protocols. An transaction object is generated which contains details of an interaction between a pair of devices. The transaction object can subsequently be transferred to other devices to provide details of the interaction, thereby enabling the identity of the sending device to be determined by the receiving device, as well as other relevant information.
