Method and system for maintaining data in a substantiated state

摘要

A method for maintaining data in a substantiated state includes executing one or more services on the data message at a first node, annotating the message header with the services executed at the first node, transmitting the data message over a data network, and receiving the annotated data message at a second node. The annotation corresponds to the services executed at the first node, and the annotated data is extractable from the header for the execution of services at the second node. A system for maintaining data in a substantiated state is also described.

1. A computer-implemented method for transmitting a data message in a network, the data message having a header, the method comprising:
executing at a first node a validation service and an auditing service that operate on the data message, wherein:
the validation service guarantees that software code operating at the first node successfully fulfilled a regulatory standard software code validation process; andthe auditing service captures an audit trail for the data message in compliance with the regulatory standard; generating substantiation information comprising the results of the execution of the validation and auditing services; substantiating the data message by adding the substantiation information to the header at the first node; transmitting the substantiated data message over the network; receiving the substantiated data message at a second node; and extracting at the second node the substantiation information from the header to verify that the data message remains substantiated.
