Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments described herein provide enhanced computer- and network-based systems and methods for providing data security with respect to computing services, such as a digital transaction service (DTS). Example embodiments further provide a discovery service that enables nodes that are included in, or otherwise communicatively coupled to, the DTS to actively or passively “discover” roles and keys associated with the nodes. These node roles are associated with the various services provided by the DTS. A security module provides at least a portion of the security services.
