Claim 9:
10. A signer device of a data validation system in a communication network comprising a bidirectional control plane and a bidirectional and/or uni-directional message production plane, the data validation system further comprising a message sending device at a first network location, a message receiving device at a second network location in the production plane, and a network key manager configured to convey first key data uniquely associated with the signer device via the control plane, wherein the control plane is independent from the production plane, the signer device comprising:
a processor and a memory configured to store non-transitory instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform the steps of:
communicating control information bidirectionally via the control plane;
receiving the first key data via the control plane;
accessing via the production plane a message from the message sending device comprising message data for transmission via the production plane,
producing using the first key data a signature associated with and unique to the signer device; and
attaching the signature to the message.
