ABSTRACT:
A system and method for securely confirming performance of a task by a peer in a peer-to-peer network environment using signed receipts are disclosed. The method generally comprises broadcasting a request over the network by a requesting peer for a task with respect to a remote non-local backend server, receiving a response containing a local alias URL pointing to a destination on a responding server node, forwarding the task to the local alias URL for performance by the responding server node, and verifying a digital signature of any receipt packet received from the responding server node to ensure that the receipt packet is from the remote non-local backend server. The method may also include placing the server node in a black list of the requesting peer if the verifying is unsuccessful.
