1. A method for controlling messages, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of digital signatures;
determining a rate at which the plurality of digital signatures are created;
creating a tamper-resistant message indicator for a message, wherein the tamper-resistance message indicator is based on a rate at which the plurality digital signatures were created at a time the tamper-resistant message indicator was created; and
sending the message indicator with the message to a recipient.

Abstract
A method for controlling a message from a sender. A referee can evaluate a credential associated with a message to determine ifs desirability to the intended recipient, and take an action based upon the results of the determination. A sender that includes a trusted component can send a credential with the message, and the message can be controlled without a referee.

8. A system for controlling messages, including:
-
a tamper-resistant processor; a tamper-resistant memory storing message control instructions that are adapted to be executed by the processor to perform a method for associating a credential with a message to be sent to an intended recipient comprising; creating a plurality of digital signatures; determining a rate at which the plurality of digital signatures are created; creating a tamper-resistant message indicator for a message, wherein the tamper-resistance message indicator is based on a rate at which the plurality digital signatures were created at a time the tamper-resistant message indicator was created; and sending the message indicator with the message to a recipient. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for controlling messages, the method comprising:
-
creating a tamper-resistant velocity indicator for a message comprising an adjustable time decay parameter associated with a message, wherein the adjustable time decay parameter is based on a rate at which messages are being sent; determining a rate of change of the tamper-resistant velocity indictor; providing the tamper-resistant velocity indicator and the rate of change of the tamper-resistant velocity indicator with the message.
