1. A method comprising:
- receiving an ad request and a first signature;
executing a signature generation algorithm using the ad request to generate a second signature;
determining if the first signature matches the second signature; and
responsive to determining the first signature matches the second signature, transmitting a verification message corresponding to the ad request,wherein the method is executed by at least one device including a hardware processor.

Abstract
A method for verifying an ad request includes verifying a signature including the ad request using symmetric or asymmetric keys. Using symmetric keys, after an ad request having a first signature is received, a signature generation algorithm is executed to generate a second signature. If the first signature matches the second signature, then the ad request is determined to be verified. Using asymmetric keys, after an ad request having a signature is received, a signature verification algorithm is executed to determine if the signature matches the ad request. If so, then the ad request is determined to be verified.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving an ad request and a first signature; executing a signature generation algorithm using the ad request to generate a second signature; determining if the first signature matches the second signature; and responsive to determining the first signature matches the second signature, forwarding the ad request as a verified ad request, wherein the method is executed by at least one device including a hardware processor. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a public key; receiving an ad request and a signature; executing a signature verification method by applying the public key to the ad request and the signature to determine if the signature matches the ad request; and responsive to determining that the signature matches the ad request;
determining that the ad request is verified,wherein the method is executed by at least one device including a hardware processor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
