Secure network protocol system and method
First Claim
1. A computer network comprising:
- a first network entity comprising;
a packet object generator to generate a packet object that has a source and a destination and includes an executable source method, an executable destination method, and data associated with the source and destination methods; and
a communications interface to transmit the generated packet object; and
a second network entity comprising;
a communications interface to receive the transmitted packet object; and
an incoming packet object handler to handle the received packet object, the incoming packet object handler including a source and destination verifier to execute the source and destination methods of the received packet object with their associated data so as to verify the source and destination of the received packet object.

Abstract
A computer network having first and second network entities. The first network entity includes a packet object generator that generates a packet object including an executable source method, an executable destination method, and data associated with each of the methods. The first network entity also includes a communications interface to transmit the packet object. The second network entity includes a communications interface to receive the packet object and an incoming packet object handler to handle the received packet object. The incoming packet object handler includes a source and destination verifier to execute the source and destination methods with their associated data so as to verify the source and destination of the received object packet.

10. A method of communicating between network entities comprising the steps of:
-
with a first network entity; generating a packet object that has a source and a destination and includes an executable source method, an executable destination method, and data associated with the source and destination methods; and transmitting the generated packet object; and with a second network entity; receiving the transmitted packet object; and handling the received packet object including executing the source and destination methods of the received packet object with their associated data so as to verify the source and destination of the received packet object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
