Assignee: SERAPH SECURITY, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A validation 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, a signer device configured to communicate control information bidirectionally via the control plane and access message data via 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 validation 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 and access message data via the production plane;
receiving the first key data via the control plane;
accessing a message received at the message receiving device from the message sending device via the production plane, wherein the message comprises message data and a signature comprising the first key data; and
using the first key data to check a validity of the signature.
