COMPUTER SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION

摘要

A computer system (10) includes an interface (31) and a processor (200). The interface (31) is adapted to receive a request from another computer system for identification of the first computer system. The adapter (31) also furnishes a hash value that identifies the first computer system to the other computer system. The processor (200) is coupled to the interface (31) and is adapted to encrypt an identifier (30) that identifies the first computer system with a key (34) associated with the other computer system to provide the hash value (32).
