Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, the request being a first request transmitted at a first time, the response being a first response, the at least one trustworthiness characteristic being at least one first trustworthiness characteristic, the method further comprising:
transmitting, to the first subsystem at a second time, a second request for at least one second trustworthiness characteristic of the first subsystem and the at least one second subsystem;
receiving, from the first subsystem, a second response indicating the at least one second trustworthiness characteristic;
determining that the at least one second trustworthiness characteristic fails to satisfy the at least one trustworthiness requirement; and
based on determining that the at least one second trustworthiness characteristic fails to satisfy the at least one trustworthiness requirement, pruning the first subsystem and the at least one second subsystem from the mesh.
