  • receiving a network message from a process executing on the endpoint, wherein the process is based on an application and wherein the network message includes a payload and a header, the network message addressed to a remote location accessible from the endpoint through a data network;

    generating a label for the network message, the label including information about a source of the network message on the endpoint;

    cryptographically signing the label to provide a signed label verifying an identity of the endpoint;

    adding the signed label to the header of the network message; and

    transmitting the network message from the endpoint to the remote location through the data network.
