ABSTRACT:
A system and method for the discovery of information from a second resource by a first resource through a network using authentication. A discovery request message is received at the second resource. The discovery request message includes discovery request data. If the second resource determines that the discovery request data is authentic, the second resource sends a discovery response message to the first resource through the network. The discovery response message includes authenticated discovery response data. Authentication provides assurance that the purported source of authenticated data is the true source, and protects the integrity of the authenticated data.
