the remote services system provides a process for confirming the identity of a message sender by comparing the claimed identity contained in the message itself against the network identity of the sender . the identity verification is implemented by a communication module that performs a validation process upon receipt of a message . the identity verification process implemented by the remote services system is accomplished by linking the claimed identity at the network level with the identity indicated at the application level . the invention relates to an architecture for confirming the identity of a message sender on a remote services system , which includes a communication module and a mid - level manager . the communications module is operable to transmit a message . the cryptographic module contained in the communication module encrypts the data stream in the message . a mid - level manager operates in conjunction with the communications module to control the flow of messages in the remote services system and verifies the identity of a sender by comparing first and second data identities in said data stream .
